Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7

[Microsoft communities]

With my shiny new 64bit Windows 7 machine:

1. I install Visual Studio 2008
2. I install SP1
3. I copy across my C++ project
4. I rebuild all.

It worked fine on 32 bit Vista but now fails to compile.

The offending section is in atlcom.h

#if !defined(_ATL_DLL_IMPL) && !defined(_ATL_DLL)
ClassesAllowedInStream rgclsidAllowed;
DWORD cclsidAllowed;
#endif

with error:
c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio
9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\atlcom.h(431) : error C2146: syntax error : missing
';' before identifier 'rgclsidAllowed'

Any ideas what I do about this?

PS: There is a difference in visual studio installations:
In Win7 I have
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 91851-136-0287963-60989
In Vista it is
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 91851-136-0287963-60238

but I don't know if that is significant.

Thanks Igor.

This looked very promising but it hasn't worked.

The advice, when I found the SDK 6.1, was to install the SDK 7 instead.
Which
I have done.

It is now sitting in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0 (in
parallel with v6.0A which was there before).

I also found a little tool had been installed to make different versions of
the SDK current in Visual Studio.
It offered me the choice of these two so I made v7 current.

Doing a full rebuild gives me exactly the same error.

Any more ideas anyone? This is *incredibly* frustrating.

I'm new to 64 bit Windows but I note that in my
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\
folder there are v5.0 and v6.0a SDKs, and I am trying to build a 32 bit
application. Should the v7 SDK installer have put something there too?

The problem is not with the SDK. The problem is that VS 2008 SP1 sometimes fails to update atlcomcli.h (which is not part of the SDK). Apparently, you have to install SP1 _after_ installing SDK (whether 6 or 7). The solution, apparently, is to uninstall everything and then reinstall it carefully in the right order.

Note that I didn't personally encounter this problem, nor tried the solution.

Thanks again - have left SDK7 there, uninstalled Visual Studio 2008,
reinstalled it, reinstalled SP1 and everything seems to be working. Wish I
knew why!

Dave: could it be possible for you to #include <atlcomcli.h> ?
The ClassesAllowedInStream class seems to me defined in <atlcomcli.h>.

Summary you need delete file ...\ce\atlmfc\include\atlcomcli.h before
applying the VS90SP1-KB973675-x86 patch

[Dave Brown]

thankyou, a variant of this solution worked for me too. I solved it by copying over the atlcomcli.h from my VS2008 install on my Vista laptop (which built my project fine).

So if you have a colleague who can build the project just take their atlcomcli.h!
