Hi folks

I bought GS6 Extra in November.

In April, I got a new laptop and installed my copy of GS6 on it.

Now, I can't get anything to build in WED. I've tried something I wrote AND something I downloaded from the AUM archives.

Help | About WED tells me WED is registered to me.

Can anyone help?

What exactly happens when you try to build? Does the Build/Map Compiler window appear at all? If that's the case, check if you have mfc70.dll and mfc70u.dll in your system.

The Build/Map Compiler window does not display. I hit the build key and nothing happens.

I have mfc70.dll on my system in an odd place "c:\Program Files\Online Services\PeoplePC\ISP5900\System"

mfc70u.dll is NOT on my system

I would put that in the windows/win32 folder. That one in the "online services" is probably meant for that program, so 3dgs doesn't look there.

I couldn't find a directory named windows\win32. I did find windows\system32 and placed mfc70.dll there.

GameStudio compiled my level just fine.

What is mfc70u.dll used for?

Where should I be able to find these dll's? On the XP install disk?

I would reinstall GameStudio. This sort of thing seems to happen when WED cannot fing the exe it is looking for.

I'll keep that in mind if I have any other "odd" problems like this.

This dll is the module containing the Microsoft Foundation Classes, which have functions/classes used by applications created in Visual C++.

I had the same problem when months ago and I thought even about Compatibility issues (the first time I've seen Gamestudio running was on WinXP SP1) only to find that with that file missing, it wouldn't build at all (something that would install along Gamestudio in future versions, perhaps?)

I have both mfc70.dll and mfc70u.dll in my system32 folder but the Build/Map Compiler window still doesn't appear.

also having the same problem, have both dlls in the system folder as well as in the main engine folder.
