Just installed Studio .NET 2003. Trying to transition from VC++ 6.0. Thus
far no previous projects will compile.
Tried to generate a simple dialog test project in 2003. It too fails to
compile.

Any ideas, as I am new to the .NET tools?

Can you zip up your VC6 Dialog project (project folder and all contents,
please) and send it to me at
pvan at rose dot edu
? I *may* be able to help.

I believe the problem may be enviruioment variable related. This is XP Pro
and VC++ 6.0 is also installled. It is also a dual boot system. I boot
into Server 2003 and installed VS there (same boot drive, same source info)
and things compile correctly.
Clearly something is amis in the XP pro boot configuration.

I would tend to agree, as I've converted several demo MFC (dialog and
otherwise) projects here without incident. You did my test for me :)

What might I need to change to fix this issue?
