I want to turn a Visual C++ 6.0 project of mine that uses OpenGL and the BASS library(http://www.un4seen.com/music/) from the Debug version to the Release version, but I get the following:

Check your list of libraries. I''ll bet your missing a couple.

But wouldn''t they show up in the Debug version also? The Debug version works perfectly!

As far as I can tell, the Project settings are individual for release and debug version. You''ll have to link in both configurations separately.

Thanks. Now it works. Only one problem left:

Can anyone tell me what''s up with this "ADVAPI32.dll"?

"Everything is relative." -- Even in the world of computers.

No kidding! How is it that you have obtained the enterprise edition of VC++? How is it that you have the enterprise edition and you don''t even know how to use it? Damn-it, what the hell am I doing wrong that no-one will buy me the enterprise edition?

ADVAPI32.DLL is a system library. Try modifying your link file list and remove the "ADVAPI32.LIB" entry.

According to MSDN:
"Use /OPT:REF/to eliminate functions and/or data that is never referenced."

Thanks for the answer.
