At some point there, Microsoft started requiring manifests for MFC dlls. So even if you have them in the same directory, you may still need to have a Microsoft.VC90.MFC.manifest (or something similar) file. I don't remember at what point this change was implemented but you can test it out by looking for a directory that'll be labeled Microsoft.VC90.MFC (or something similar, according to your version of MFC) and placing that on your applications root directory.

As a note... VC90 is for VS2008...

VS2005 deprecated a lot of the old C runtime functions and replaced them with "secure" versions. If you're not using any of them, you're gold. If you are using them, fixing the warnings should be a piece of cake. The VS2005 compiler also catches some errors that the earlier ones didn't. Those should be simple to fix as well.

The short answer is to install the new IDE, and do a clean/build-all on your project, and see what shakes out. That's the fastest way to convert, especially if you're familiar with the code base.

Solution 1

you need to install the dlls via a runtime setup. It is revisiting "DLL Hell"
