SUMMARY
If you have installed more than one release of a Microsoft software development product and are noticing strange build errors that seem, like undefined identifiers, it is possible that you have an outdated or incorrect Visual C++ or FORTRAN PowerStation registry. This situation can be corrected by deleting the appropriate registry key. Exit the Visual WorkBench and follow the steps below.

WARNING NOTE: Please follow the instructions closely, because the Windows NT installation may be corrupted if you happen to incorrectly delete the wrong key.


 * 1) Select the Run... option from the Program Manager's File menu.
 * 2) Type regedt32 in the Command Line field and press [Enter].
 * 3) Select "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" under the Window menu
 * 4) Open the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder
 * 5) Open the "Software" folder
 * 6) Open the "Microsoft" folder
 * 7) Select the "Development" folder (for Visual C++ version 4.0) or the "Visual C++ " folder ( may be blank or be a version number such as "2.0") or the "FORTRAN PowerStation" folder.
 * 8) Press the [Del] key
 * 9) Answer [Yes] to the confirmation Dialog
 * 10) Close the Registry Editor (regedt32).

The Visual WorkBench will inform you that a new registry key will be created the next time it is run.
