SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Developer Studio, MSDEV, crashes when creating a new Visual J++ (VJ++) project with the Java Applet Wizard. This occurs only after opening a Visual C++ (VC++) project, which resides on a network drive, with a VJ++- only installation of MSDEV.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, after opening a VC++ project in a VJ++-only installation of MSDEV, exit and restart MSDEV.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Do not attempt to open a VJ++ project after opening a project that does not contain a supported platform in a VJ++-only installation of MSDEV.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open an existing VC++ project, which resides on a network drive, in a VJ++-only installation of MSDEV.
 * 2) Click OK on the dialog box warning that you don't have the build tools for that platform type.
 * 3) Close the project.
 * 4) Create a VJ++ project with the Applet wizard with default options.

Notice that MSDEV crashes.
