I'm trying to resume work on a plugin in Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition after a 2 month hiatus.

The Visual Studio Conversion Wizard appears, saying that the project being opened was created in a previous version and must be converted.

After conversion, the Solution Explorer says that the _api project file was unloaded. Reload Project is unsuccessful.

I haven't changed anything since last working on the plugin, when all was well.

Can anyone provide a solution to this problem?

I have no idea, sorry. Currently VS2008 is not officially supported by MAXON, meaning you have to use it on your own risk.

cheers,
Matthias

Okay, thanks for the reply.

I might have to give VS 2005 a try.

Why not simply adding the api project back on yourself? ;-) Then simply set the dependancies again. Should be it (drag and drop the project file of the api into the project window of VS).

Okay, it's working!

The problem was that somehow _api.vcproj had become write-protected, which was preventing it from being converted.

Thanks for the suggestion, this helped put me on the right track.
