Summary: Visual C++ 2005 Trial can't build project, complains when starting mspdbsrv Product: Wine Version: 1.1.13 Platform: Other URL: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/f/5/6f5f7a01- 50bb-422d-8742- c099c8896969/En_vs_2005_vsts_180_Trial.img OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Since Visual C++ Express 2005 installs, I figured I'd try the trial for full-on Visual C++ 2005, available at the given url. Sure enough, it took 30 minutes, but it installed!
Then I tried building a project. I tried both Chromium's net unittest and a trivial old visual c++ 6 (?) project from codeguru, http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/g-m/gdi/capturingimages/article.php/c6333/ In both cases, visual c++ 2005 complained during compile:
MSPDBSRV: fatal error: Unable to start server: server already exist
From +relay, the commandline it's using to start mspdbsrv is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\ide\mspdbsrv.exe -start -spawn
And sure enough, running wine mspdbsrv -start -spawn in directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common\ide\ generates the same error message (and a remarkably short +relay log).
