This weekend I got the following error message when trying to build a VS 2010 solution that I was able to build without any problems 2 days before:
Error 128 "ResGen.exe" exited with code -532459699.
It was obvious to me that the problem was related to the resource files.
After checking the properties for some of the resource files on my solution I noticed that some of them didn't have a the "Custom Tool" property set.
Setting the value of "Custom Tool" to "GlobalResourceProxyGenerator" allowed me to build my solution again.
If you Google this error, the first link is a Microsoft Connect entry created 5 days ago without any recommended workaround yet.
