VC++ corrupted by Meas. studio 7.0

[m_c]

VC++.Net 2003 cannot locate header files (and libs?) after installing Meas. Studio 7.0 (see snapshot).

The environment paths defined in ControlPanel\System\Advanced\Environment look okay.

The strange thing is that the "..\National Instruments\Measurement Studio70\VCNet" path displayed by the error window (see snapshot) is not listed there. So, where is it defined?

I got the exact same problem on 2 PCs with different hardware and software configurations.

- The problem is still there after uninstalling Measurement Studio 7.0
- The problem is still there after uninstalling Measurement Studio 7.0 and repairing VC++

Hopefully reinstalling VC++ will make it go away!!

Has anyone experienced the same problem? W
hat is causing this issue and how can it be fixed?

Thanks.

Hello

All the paths are actaully defined in a file called vccomponenets.dat, which is actaully a text file. You can find this file under C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1

I have attached a copy of the file on my machine with all the correct paths ( and perhaps a little more ) that you can replace your vccomponents.dat file with. That should bring back the paths and get you set up.

If you need to make sure a repair fixes this problem, delete this file ( or just move it to another location ) before trying to do a repair on the Visual Studio.NET. This way, you wont have to do a complete uninstall/re-install.

I'll look into this some more to see what could cause this, but this
workaround should get you up and running

I hope this helps

The same thing happened to me. Plus MS7 caused cl.exe (c++ complier) not to work. I just reinstalled MSV.net and everything worked fine.
