            Do you compile for x64 ? :) Please remove all additional libs and try to set the only "full pathed" msvcrt.lib from your x64 SDK directory :)

              What part of "The project is missing a reference to a library (.LIB) or object (.OBJ) file" are you not understanding? Did you read the .lib Files as Linker Input link?

                  Hi, This means that the library was compiled with Buffer Security Check[^]. Since we know that Visual Studio 6 does not implement compiler security checks... this means that the library you are attempting to use was compiled with VS2002 or above. You have two choices: 1.) Recompile the library with /GS (Buffer Security Check)[^] disabled. 2.) In your VC6 project... try linking with the bufferoverflowU.lib library that was included in deprecated (older) versions of the Platform SDK. Compiler Security Checks In Depth[^] Best Wishes, -David Delaune

                    Why would you do that? Libraries and include/header files are not the same thing. If you are using VS6, click the Directories tab of the Tools->Options dialog. In the Show directories for: combobox, select Library files. Add the name of the folder that contains the .lib file you are using. Click the Link tab of the Project->Settings dialog. In the Category combobox, select Input. In the Object/library modules: edit control, add the name of the .lib file you are using.

                                I cannot figure out if you are using a .mak file or the IDE to compile your project. I would be inclined to get everything working using the latter, and then create a .mak file from that.

                                  If you do not have the necessary .lib files, the problem cannot be resolved.
