[Quickfix-developers] Building in VS8 .NET

[V. K. <vk...@el...>]

Hi, 

I just tried building quickfix using VS8.

1. downloaded the source
2. edited the quickfix\src\config_windows.h file to include "#define 
HAVE_MSSQL 1" (per instructions from the documentation 
http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/building.html).
3. opened quickfix_v8.sln from the quickfix directory. (was asked to 
convert the project since it was created with an earlier version of VS).
4. built the solution successfully.

If I run the sample executor I get the following error:

System.BadImageFormatException was unhandled
  Message="Could not load file or assembly 'quickfix_net, 
Version=1.0.3303.42637, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its 
dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect 
format."

I also tried creating a new console project that referenced 
quickfix\src\.NET\debug\vs8\quickfix_net.dll but the same error appeared.

I'm running on Vista 64bit and was wondering if I need to make so special 
consessions for that?
I tried building the executor as a 64bit app and changed it to .NET v3.5 
but the same error.

Anyone else tried this?

Thanks,
