SYMPTOMS

After uninstalling Visual InterDev 1.0 on a machine with Visual C++ 5.0 installed, "New DataBase Wizard" creation icons no longer appear in Visual C++'s File\New menus (Projects tab).

This issue applies to those who have just uninstalled Visual InterDev and who are now experiencing loss of functionality in Visual C++ 5.0.

CAUSE

Uninstalling Visual InterDev 1.0 removes registry keys that Visual C++ 5.0 depends on for providing use of some extended functionality.

RESOLUTION

Re-install Visual InterDev or Visual C++ for complete functionality.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual InterDev 6.0.
