Hello,
My computer has been upgraded from WinXP 32-bit to Win7 64-bit and VS2008 was reinstalled.
Unfortunately, I can't build my C++ project using Winsock anymore! :-(
ws2_32.lib reference is typed in "linker/inputs/dependencies but" I get a link error!
Your help is welcome.
Regards.

Hi,

Did you try to link the ws2_32.lib file(in your application dependency settings) in your 64 bit machine ?

Since you moved from a 32 bit machine to 64 bit machine, you need to upgrade most of your apps from 32 to 64 bit as well. This includes the 32 bit winsock library. You will probably find other things needing upgrade as well...

I installed a virtual machine with XP 32 bit on my Win7 64 bit. That was the easiest and the most quick way for me!
