Unable to Compile New Update

[wraetthu]

Ok, I'm new to MQ2. I was able to compile and use the version before 20160217 using VS2012.

This time, after I run the Auth, open the .dsw file and try to do the migration, I get a migration report that :

MQ2Main\MQ2Main.dsp: Unable to convert project. Please make sure this is a valid Visual C++ 6.0 project.
Error MQ2Main\MQ2Main.dsp: Project upgrade failed.

and it won't migrate or compile.

When I attempted to use the .sln MacroQuest2-VS2012, I successfully migrated, but no matter how many times I build, I got following output:

Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated

This sounds like a problem with the project.

If you have a copy of the last project file you could just copy the .h and .c files into them and compile.

Don't open the dsw/dsp files with anything, they aren't even needed nowadays. Open the solution with visual studio (.sln), if manipulating projects, use the .vcxproj file.

As far as your externs, notice they complain about netstream. In Solution Explorer window in VS, expand the mq2bzsrch project, right-click on Source Files, and Add, Existing Item, and browse and select netstream.cpp

For the project, headers: netstream.h source: mq2bzsrch.cpp and netstream.cpp (just telling you what should show once you are done)
