I am an advanced level programmer of Borland C++Builder. Interested to try Visual C++ and hence evaluated VC++ Express. Honestly I am both pleased and disappointed.
Pleased:
For a programmer with zero experience using VC++ product, I managed to get my introductory project saved and compiled simply by way of self exploration. This shows despite VC++ is much more complicated than Borland C++ Builder in interface, it is still manageable.
Disappointment:
The subject error corped up and there is no way I can get rid of it. All settings change in the IDE seemed transparent to the command line options. I have already tried all permutations on "Common Runtime Libraries Support" (disabling it) and "Multi-Thread" (/MT /MTd /MD /MDd) but to no avail.
It this a bug or there are too many advanced switches I am yet to understand My project is just a simple Windows application with a form with few buttons and check boxes that do nothing.
Overall: There is still a gap between Borland and Microsoft C/C++ IDE man-machine interface. Is it really that difficult to implement conflicting options check feature

Command line error D8016 : '/MT' and '/clr' command-line options are incompatible
