SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Developer Studio, Msdev.exe, fails when attempting to insert a component into a Visual C++ project that is loaded into a Visual J++ only installation.



WORKAROUND
Do not attempt to insert a component into a Visual C++ project loaded in a Visual J++ only installation of Developer Studio. You must first install Visual C++ before trying to work with any Visual C++ project.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual J++ 1.1.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open an existing Visual C++ project in a Visual J++ only installation
 * 2) Click OK in the dialog box warning that you do not have the build tools for that platform type.
 * 3) On the Insert menu, click Component.
 * 4) Select and Insert a new OLE Control to your project.
