Hi,

I installed the 1.1.1 beta and am getting the following errors each time I compile a project.
LINK : warning LNK4089: all references to 'DPLAYX.dll' discarded by /OPT:REF
LINK : warning LNK4089: all references to 'OLEAUT32.dll' discarded by /OPT:REF
LINK : warning LNK4089: all references to 'SHELL32.dll' discarded by /OPT:REF
LINK : warning LNK4089: all references to 'WININET.dll' discarded by /OPT:REF

The program compiles and links OK and runs fine, but I hate having warnings that I don't understand. Can anyone tell me what they mean and how to get rid of them?

Thanks,

T.

Its telling you that there are no calls to functions in those DLL's - and thus aren't used.

See http://www.mvps.org/vcfaq/ide/7.htm

Yep, it's normal. Deep within the DX includes are a couple of #pragma directives that tell the compiler these libraries are needed, but the linker has worked out that they aren't really.

You can get rid of the warnings by setting the properties->Linker->Optimisation->References to 'Keep unreferenced data' but your executables will be larger and slower to load ... or you can just ignore these warnings

Much appreciated comrades, I think ignore mode is called for then. Thanks SSS for that FAQ link, it looks very useful. Thanks Ian for the "deep in DX" stuff. That's the sort of stuff that comes with experience and I love it. Wish I knew as much about C++ as Java, but I've got some long years to go before that happens :-(
