Solution:

The first step is to change the project-project Properties-Configuration Properties-connector-list file-embed list to "no". If it doesn't solve the problem, go to the second step.

Step Two: Check if the computer is a 64bit operating system, if so, continue with the following actions.
Find out if there are two Cvtres.exe.
C:\Program Files (x86) \microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\vc\bin\cvtres.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\cvtres.exe
Right-click Properties-Details, view both version numbers, delete/rename older versions, or reset the path variable.

The root of the solution is the second step, after removing the old version of Cvtres.exe, you do not need to set the configuration every time.
