486.0. "Is anybody home at VISUAL_FT" by HYDRA::AMORELLI () Thu Mar 20 1997 07:51

I posted this in VISUAL_FT but there was no reply so I'll try
here.

I just installed VC 5.0 beta on my Alpha 433a workstation.
There is one thing I find odd. I only have Win32 Debug &
Release configuations, why? I would expect (if nothing else)
Alpha Debug & Release config's. This is a new (just out of the
box) system without any other layered products installed. I
tried the install different ways (typical, custom, minimum)
but still no Alpha config's. The 4.x kits install with
multiple config's by default. Any ideas on what's up?

    Re .0, do you have FX!32 running on your box and did you install the
    Alpha version of VC++ 5.0?

FX!32 is running and it's the Alpha version. I know this is a strange problem
but I've installed on 2 different systems and I have the same problem. The only
configurations are: Win32 Release & Win32 Debug. Is this normal? I built a
'hello world' console app and it executes ok. I really need to build one of the
sample apps to test a bug report, that's where I first noticed the config.

    basically, Microsoft has gotten out of the build platform naming
    convention.  The only defaults are Win32 Release and Win32 Debug.
    If you add new configs, you have to think up the names.
