Q140351: PRB: Assertion in Dlgprop.cpp Line 499

Article: Q140351
Product(s): Microsoft C Compiler
Version(s): MACINTOSH:2.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbsetup kbHWMAC kbVC kbprb
Last Modified: 03-AUG-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual C++, Macintosh Cross-Development Addon, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Displaying a property sheet within a project for a Macintosh target results in
the appearance of this assertion message:

  xxxx: File dlgprop.cpp, line 499

This may start with line 497 instead (as in the PROPDLG sample), but it will be
followed by more assertions (501, 503, and more in various locations).

CAUSE
=====

As there was no update to the Macintosh cross-compiler in version 2.1, building
a Macintosh application still requires the MFC header files from version 2.0.
One of these files includes the Afxres.rc file, which contains some resources,
such as some scroll bitmaps, which are not found in Afxres.rc file from version
2.1.

RESOLUTION
==========

Run the provided Setupmfc.exe program, and add a path for the MFC 3.0 include
directory to the INCLUDE environment variable in the development environment.
More details follow.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Visual C++ 2.1 Setup programs install a program called Setupmfc.exe in the
Msvc20\Bin directory and install an icon for it in the Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0
program group. The icon's label is "MFC 3.0 Source Setup." To see the icon, you
need to have the Macintosh add-on installed before you install Visual C++ 2.1.

1. Use Setupmfc.exe to reinstall MFC 3.0 source code. Be sure to use the Visual
  C++ 2.0 compact disc when the program asks for the MFC 3.0 source directory.
  Using the Visual C++ 2.1 compact disc will not work.

2. Open the Visual C++ development environment. On the Tools menu, click Tools,
  and then click the Directories tab. Under Platform, click Macintosh, and
  under Show Directories for, click Include files. Remove the existing header
  file directory for MFC 3.1. Click the Add button to add a path for the MFC
  3.0 include directory. For example:

  c:\msvc20\mfc30\include
