MFC42D.LIB Linker Error

[marathoner]

I am in the process of converting a Visual C++ 6.0 project to Visual Studio
2005. The conversion is almost complete, but in the linking phase, I get
the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'mfc42d.lib'

It seems to be looking for a file from Visual C++ 6.0. I have checked the
project settings and can't find any reference to "mfc42d.lib".

Some '#pragma comment(lib, "'mfc42d.lib")' in source code?

I didn't find any reference to mfc42d.lib in the source code.

I wasn't able to find the setting to exclude the old MFC libraries from
linking. Can you tell me how to find this option?

May be you are linking your program with some library compiled with VC6

Thanks, that solved the problem.

Right click on the project in solution explorer, and select Properties.
In
the Properties dialog, select Configuration Properties - Linker - Input.
Add
the MFC 8 library to "Additional Dependencies" and add the MFC 4.2 library
to
Ignore Specific Library.
