Importing VS 6 projects into VS2005

visual studio .net general:

Visual Studio 2005, C++ compiler

An MFC project imported from Visual Studio 6 does not compile, due to
several syntax errors in msidl.h. This is a MS include file, which I
did not request. I don't use IDL at all.

Anyone have a clue what might be wrong?

Hi,

Are you sure you are #including and linking to all the correct headers
and libs? You can't mix and match VS6 and VS2005 headers and libs.

You'll probably find many apps need to be rewritten, or you'll have to
hack the command lines to force it to old behavior.
