Non-progress report with VS2010 -
Tim Bell's patches, and perhaps the residual cruft from the "uninstalled"
VS2012,
don't seem to be compatible with VS2010. These look like patch problems, not
faulty uninstall problems, but I did need to do a by-hand removal of environment
variables referencing VS2012 (machine reboot was not sufficient).
The three problems encountered thus far:
1) patched system looks for msvcr110.dll, but (in system32 on Windows 7)
only msvcr100.dll is available.
2) patched system expects that compiler will generate (in 32-bit mode) for
"x86", not "80x86"
I tweaked my built to handle those two cases. The latest failure I have not
yet worked around:
3) Link complains about an extra argument _build_pch_file.obj when linking adlc
.
Any hints as to how to deal with this last error are welcome.
