I have a really old MFC C++ project (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:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Vsexpressvc/thread/bf8c0677-01c4-452f-ac79-f5a67bc2a5fb

Fix is to use VS2008.  Gotta love Microsoft.
