Ouch,
compiling this file makes my computer rebooting or crashing or whatever. So Maybe you can help me: Is it possible to use a compiled file from someone else? If the answer is yes, can someone send it to me? that would be very useful because i guess it's a problem with my crappy computer, but I don't want to format these days.
Thank you for your help.

Oh, I'm under Win98SE if it matters running VC++6.

Hmmm? You might want to re-install VS6 with a "repair" option, if available.

I'm not sure I understand about "compiled file" - unless you're talking about .OBJ/ASM files for stdafx... Maybe, but none of the devs of the major mods run VS6 anymore, AFAIK.

Having your computer reboot on compiling that file isn't good, you should try fresh sources and if it still happens... try diagnosting your computer

Yes, i was talking about these files. I will try to reinstall VS6, that's not a bad idea, but well, will i need to reinstall the SDK after?
Thank you for you answer, and sorry for the double post, i don't know waht happened and i didn't manage to delete it.

I'm not sure, but the Platform SDK should be in its own directory. You can check file dates to make sure that VS6 doesn't clobber it. (I never used VS6 specifically).

I didn't even notice a double post, must've been one of the other mods doing cleanup.

Ok, the exe is finally on my desktop. That was odd because if i try to compile stdafx now it doesn't work but it has worked once. Pfiouu, i'm lucky.

Well, now i've got another problem

When i launch the exe, I have two error windows. First, it's something related with DBGHELP.DLL:SysFromAddr. I have downloaded the dll from the microsoft site, and it's in my windows directory. A second window tells me that "a peripheral doesn't work correctly" (translated approximatively from french). Can you help me one more time?
Thanks

The one distributed with DC++ was actually pulled out of the VS.NET 2002 directory. I'm using the 2003 version with my mod now, since it's what I compile with.

I'm not sure what this error is... do you have a clean XML file (ie. no hardcoded path names to volumes that don't exist)?

Maybe you could run your compiled executable in debugging mode, pause the code, and check the call stack to see where the error gets touched off from.
