ERROR_MRM_NO_CANDIDATE

ERROR_MRM_NO_CANDIDATE means the resource manager found the logical resource lookup but could not select any concrete resource candidate. This can be caused by missing assets, incompatible qualifiers, or an incomplete PRI index.

What to check

  • Verify that the resource identifier exists in the generated PRI.
  • Check which qualifiers are active at runtime and whether matching candidates were packaged.
  • Add a neutral fallback candidate when only specialized variants are present.
