Problems with Visual Studio
-
Hi, I've experienced the strangest behaviour of my VS 6.0. I have project with multiple, hierarchially dependent sub-projects (each one comprising a dll). I added some code to a header file of the most basic sub-project and compiled it. The compilation went fine, VS went into linking, I heard a beep and the compilation froze! I tried to shut down VS but was told that I had to stop the compilation first, but stopping it from the menu or the button didn't have any effect. I eventually had to cold-boot my Win95 system. I removed the coded I had added, and it went fine. I added it again and compilation went fine. I made some other (very small) changes, it crashed on compilation again! Does this ring a bell for anybody? Any suggestions? Cheers Steen. "To claim that computer games influence children is rediculous.

Are you running Norton AntiVirus on 9x/Me by chance? There's a known bug with NAV 2000/2001 (maybe 2002, I haven't tried it yet) that'll lock VC when it either runs the help compiler or regsvr32. Disable Auto-Protect to work around this. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "Listen you footwarriors, can you hold down a bit with the firing?

Wow, thanks! Yes, I'm running NAV on Win95, with autoprotect on. I'll try to disable it and see if the problem goes away. BTW, VC doesn't really lock, it just never finishes the build (but the UI works fine). Do you know if NAV causes any problems with Adaptec CD Creator as well? Creator won't recognize my CD writer (although Direct CD works fine!) Cheers Steen. "To claim that computer games influence children is rediculous.

Hi, disabling Auto-Protect certainly did the trick, thanks again. However, the compilation froze (with Auto-Protect on) either during the creation of the browse database or during invocation of a post-linking step (a file copy). So this bug is not just when running help compiler or regsvr32. Cheers Steen. "To claim that computer games influence children is rediculous.

Yeah, the IDE will hang when launching any external program. Regsvr32 is just what most people get the hang with since that's used so often. As for your CD writer, I don't know. Check Symantec's knowledge base and Adaptec's site. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "The Earth is doomed." -- Rupert Giles :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer:

As for your CD writer, I don't know. Check Symantec's knowledge base and Adaptec's site. Did that. Since the Adaptec sw came with the writer it's OEM and out of Adaptecs (actually it's Roxios) hands. I'll have to contact the writer producer (Samsung). But I'll upgrade my PC and install win98 instead one of these days, and I'll install NAV as the very last program. I'll check that everything works before NAV, and if anything breaks after NAV I'll fry their support. thanks for your help Cheers Steen.
