SYMPTOMS
After uninstalling Visual InterDev 1.0 on a machine with Visual C++ 5.0 installed, "New DataBase Wizard" creation icons no longer appear in Visual C++'s File\New menus (Projects tab).

This issue applies to those who have just uninstalled Visual InterDev and who are now experiencing loss of functionality in Visual C++ 5.0.



CAUSE
Uninstalling Visual InterDev 1.0 removes registry keys that Visual C++ 5.0 depends on for providing use of some extended functionality.



RESOLUTION
Re-install Visual InterDev or Visual C++ for complete functionality.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual InterDev 6.0.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Install Visual InterDev and Visual C++ from the Visual Studio installation CD.
 * 2) Remove Visual InterDev via the Add/Remove icon in Control Panel.
 * 3) Launch Visual C++, and click New from the File menu (Projects tab).

The New DataBase Wizard icon no longer appears.
