ERROR_MRM_RESOURCE_TYPE_MISMATCH

ERROR_MRM_RESOURCE_TYPE_MISMATCH means the requested resource and the selected candidate do not have compatible types. For example, a lookup expecting a string cannot be satisfied by an incompatible resource representation.

What to check

  • Verify that all candidates for one logical resource represent the same intended type.
  • Check resource identifiers for accidental collisions between strings and file-based resources.
  • Dump the PRI to inspect the resource map before changing runtime lookup code.
makepri dump /if resources.pri /of resources.pri.xml
