Compiling VS 6 C++ project with VS 2005 troubles

[Guest]

I'm trying to move to VS .NET 2005 so I'm starting by opening the VS 6
project. The transformation of the project file worked fine. When I build
the project I receive the following 2 errors which I'm having difficulty
resolving.

CVTRES : fatal error CVT1100: duplicate resource. type:MANIFEST, name:2,
language:0x0409

LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid
or corrupt

Any suggestions on a possible solution would be great. Thanks.

One possíble reason:

The VC6 resource file contains a manifest to use recent common controls.

The 2005 linker adds another manifest by default.

I (eventually solved this for my project by deleting the old
manifest from the resources.
