SYMPTOMS
When you click OK in the dialog box to create a new class in ClassWizard, you receive the following error message:
You are running Cheyenne's InocuLAN or InoculateIT. This problem has been seen on both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0.
CAUSE
An interaction with the InocuLAN or InoculateIT virus-scanning software causes ClassWizard to report incorrectly that file creation failed.
RESOLUTION
The best workaround is to exclude the .clw, .h, and .cpp files from being scanned by the antivirus software. This prevents the sharing violation that occurs when the antivirus software and Visual Studio try to access the files at the same time.
You can also use one of the following alternate workarounds:
- Start the InocuLAN or InoculateIT Realtime Monitor if it is not already started. On the Explorer taskbar, right-click the InocuLAN or InoculateIT Realtime Monitor icon. Click Monitor Incoming Files.
- Close the project workspace and delete the project's .clw file. Reopen the project, load ClassWizard, and rebuild the .clw database at the prompt..
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET.
