mfc40d.lib link error

I am in the process of converting a Visual C++ 6.0 project to Visual Studio
2005. The conversion is almost complete, but in the linking phase, I get
the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'mfc42d.lib'

Hi,

Pls check whether the this 'mfc42d.dll' exists in the path where your VS is installed if it's not there.. I'll suggests you to reinstallthe VS.

As per my experience is concerned , 'mfc42d.dll' comes by default with Visual Studio 6.

Please let me know in case of any query.

Thanks!

Hi, madankarmukta
Thank you for replying me the question. That your suggestion I have tried. I copy the mfc42d.lib to the path ,it can complier but run error.

It seems that the mfc42d.lib is used for debugging MFC applications. Seeing that you're moving it to a VB.NET application I don't know why you need to use this...

I would find out what's referencing this library in your application and remove the reference.
