I highly recommend trying to build and run one of the example projects bundled with the API first. It's a good way to get started, and can be used as a benchmark if your own projects don't work.

Based on my experience, this error message occurred when the compilation of GRC files has error.

Make sure that the GRC files are compiled correctly. To check: open the compiled GRC files (.grc.rc2) inside the Debug/Release folder on text editor (Notepad, etc.), if it is empty then it failed the compilation.

Yes, I can confirm that this was due to the GRC files not being compiled correctly.
