Re: Issues with Porting VS6.0 MFC Projects to VS8.0 - Need Help

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The issue has been resolved.

The following actions were taken to resolve the issue:
1. VS 2005 was uninstalled
2. Visual Studio .NET2003 was uninstalled
3. VS 2005 was uninstalled
4. A clean rebuild.

Looks like the initial installation order of
VS 6.0
VS 2005
VS.NET2003
throws the env in a form that confuses VS2005.

and i did set an env variable VCInstallDir to the correct path(which i am
hoping would override whatever studio has)

C:\Documents and Settings\User>set VCInstalldir
VCInstallDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8

Am I missing something.

Also want to metion that i do have 2 third party math libraries(*.lib) that
are not built using VS2005. But they do link fine using VS2003 and VS6.00.
Not sure if this should have any effect.

Regards

I am in the midst of porting a massive MFC application from VS6.0 to VS8.0.
While i have fixed most of the compile time errors, i do have quite a
linker
error that i have not been able to resolve. The error i get is

Error 100 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void
__thiscall CWnd::PostNcDestroy(void)"
(?PostNcDestroy@CWnd@@UAEXXZ) Evenout.obj

I have about 200 of these on almost all the obj's that have a dialog in
them(which is understandable). But i do see that the delcaration of
CWnd::PostNcDestory( ) in the systems afxwin.h header which is public:

// for custom cleanup after WM_NCDESTROY
public:
virtual void PostNcDestroy();

Do i need to refer to any particular version of SDK/ *.lib or am i
missing
something. Any help here would be appreciated.

Make sure that you're not still linking against the VC6 version of MFC.
Check the project settings and the Tools|Options|Projects and Solutions|C++
Directories to make sure that the VS2005 directories are the only ones on
the library search path.

-cd
