As the 2005.sln wouldn't load, I tried converting the Vs2003 solutions. Here I encountered the second set of problems. When the solution tries to compile, I get a "duplicate resource" error, type:MANIFEST. O.K. So I had to open the project.rc file and exclude the line that defines the manifest file.
