We are migrating our project from vs2005 to vs2015 . In one of the project we are using Ad1.lib .When I build that project in vs2015 getting the error saying Ad1.lib not found .

In vs2005 this lib was present in "

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\Lib

" but I cannot find this lib in 2015 lib folders

I tried by removing Ad1.lib from 2015 project properties then it is giving below error "

\LNK2001	unresolved external symbol _IID_IActiveScriptSiteDebug	
LNK2001	unresolved external symbol _IID_IDebugApplication
LNK2001	unresolved external symbol _IID_IActiveScriptSiteDebug
LNK2001	unresolved external symbol _IID_IActiveScriptParse

"

What I have tried:

I googled it but cannot find any information related the lib and about the symbols

We are struggling very much with this error . Any information about this will be helpful for us

Thanks in advacne

Solution 1

You can try to copy the Ad1.lib to your project and include it, if you still have it.
Then under the file properties set "Copy to working directory" to always.
If that fails, try this: visual studio - VS2005 and Windows SDK 7.1 - Stack Overflow[ ]

Thanks for the reply. We are not only changing the editor but also changing the compiler version to 19. Just want to understand, whether microsoft discarded this lib or moved it to other lib file

I am not sure whether the lib is static lib or not.So I am thinking that copying the lib from older version might cause runtime issues

So it looks like you are using Visual-C, maybe you can update the title of your question to avoid confusion.
