Create a Visual Studio 6 Project Using Visual Studio 2010

Question

I am trying to create a project created in VS 6 with VS 2010. When I open the file .dsw, VS will convert the project by asking me this message:

"... ProjectName.dsp must be converted to the current Visual C ++ format of the project. After converting it, you will not be able to edit this project in previous versions of Visual Studio.

Convert and open this project? "

When I say "Yes"VS opens a project. Now, since I have to add one header file and a library to create it, I added the file paths .hand .lib, by setting VC++ Directories.

Now I'm not sure when and why, but some time after that, VS 2010 gives me the following error popup that continues to show:

"Microsoft (R) Visual C ++ Server stops working

The problem causes the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.

Any help in resolving this issue?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and the reason was the wrong permissions for the included file. The user who runs Visual Studio 2010 must (obviously) have read access to the file!

Answer 2

I'm not sure if this will be useful to anyone else, but in my case I saw this error and found that my hard drive is full. I cleared a few contours of space, and everything worked again.
