PRB: Component Gallery Errors with Read-Only Project Files

• The Component Gallery included with:

      - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.2, 5.0, 5.0sp1,
        5.0sp2, 5.0sp3
  

SYMPTOMS

When inserting a standard MFC component from the Component Gallery, a message box appears with the following text:

   Errors encountered:-

   <a long list with no filenames>

   Continuing may render your project unbuildable. Continue?

CAUSE

Source file permissions are read-only, perhaps due to source control.

RESOLUTION

Change the source file permissions to permit write access. In a source control environment, this may require checking out the file, or having the file's current owner check it back in.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new MFC AppWizard (exe) project.

2. Change the file permissions to read-only for all files except the .ncb file.

3. On the Project menu, click Add to Project.

4. Select Standard MFC Components, and insert a status bar (select "use the system defaults" in the wizard).

   NOTE: The message box described in the SYMPTOMS section appears.

5. Click Yes.
