SUMMARY

Visual C++ was not designed and tested as a network application.

MORE INFORMATION

Be aware of the following when using Microsoft Visual C++ on a networked system:
  • Microsoft Visual C++ is not designed as a networked application. Thus, running Visual C++ from a server is not part of Microsoft's design or test specifications.
  • Visual C++ is designed and tested to be run "locally" or from your computer's hard drive or CD-ROM drive.
  • Microsoft Visual C++ adheres to the requirements of Microsoft operating systems. It is not tested outside of those specifications.
Given the above statements, Visual C++ can successfully be used in many different configurations and network systems. If you encounter problems, please consider the following:
  • Does the problem also occur if Visual C++ and its projects are run locally? If this is true, you may have a problem with your network drivers. Before calling your vendor, you should try to verify whether the system is set up correctly.
  • Is the problem something that falls outside of specifications of Microsoft operating systems? For example, Microsoft operating systems directories are not case-sensitive.
  • Is the networking driver shipped by Microsoft? If not, you should contact the networking software vendor.
