Answer 1

I had this problem as well. I was appalled at Microsoft for doing this to us.
(I used VC6 to build a particular project and then when I also installed 2003 and 2005 on the build machine it caused my VC6 build to have issues. (I was not checking installs on a pristine machine) Apparently the linker/compiler had no idea what it was doing so it caused problems with my distributable. I then had to add a HUGE redist install file to my 120k exe app. Freakin' microsoft.

MS has screwed this up a few times in the past.
