Title: Help migrating old MS C++ project to Visual Studio Express 2010
Post by: ahofle on May 23, 2012, 12:24:11 am

I have a really old MFC C++ project (http://wintail.hofle.com (http://wintail.hofle.com)) that I need to fix because it no longer works in Windows 7.  I finally found the project and source files a couple days ago and tried importing them into MS Visual Studio Express 2010 C++, but it gives me a useless error message that the project couldn't be migrated.  Does anyone have any ideas what I might need to look at to get this to loaded in a newer IDE?

Do you have a link?  The only Audacity I know about is the audio editor.

Just updating this post with a solution...looks like a known bug:

Fix is to use VS2008.  Gotta love Microsoft.
