Compatibility with Visual C++ 2005

[erli]

I have recently become involved in an MFC project written in VC++ 2003 using Measurement Studio 7.x. I have Visual Studio 2005 installed on my computer.

My problem is that Measurement Studio 8.0 for VC++ refuses to install because I don't have VC++ 2003 installed (I only have VC++ 2005). Is there a simple fix or workaround for this problem? If not, when will a version of Measurement Studio be released that only requires Visual Studio 2005?

Regards,

Hello

The Measurement Studio 8.0 C++ libraries will not work with VS 2005, since there were significant changes between MFC 7.1 and 8.0. MStudio 8.0 was designed for VS 2003. We are working on providing C++ libraries for VS 2005 soon. You can sign up for the Measurement Studio beta for VS 2005 at ni.com/beta. Once you are signed up for the beta, you will be notified once we have something available.

I apologize for the inconvienience.

Thank you for your swift response.

Will the libraries for VC++ 2005 be made available under my Measurement Studio 8.0 license or will they require an upgrade?

I am guessing that MS 6.0 will also not work with Visual Studio 2005?

You are correct. The Measurement Studio C++ libraries extend MFC. Consequently, they have to link to a particular version of MFC. Measurement Studio 6.0 was designed to work with Visual Studio 6.0. The Measurement Studio 6.0 class libraries link to MFC 4.2, which was the version of MFC that shipped with Visual Studio 6.0.

MFC 8.0 ships with Visual Studio 2005.

The next version of Measurement Studio will include support for MFC 8.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
