Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

The Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 C++ compiler must be installed to generate and build C++ code (WinC and WinNTC objects) in CA Plex. The Standard edition, Professional edition, and other higher editions of Visual Studio are compatible with CA Plex.

CA Plex only requires a typical installation for Microsoft’s Visual Studio. For more information about different configurations, see the Visual C++ documentation.

Note the following:

• The C#, System i 5250, and Java generators do not require the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.
• If you are building Windows server (WinNTC) functions, you must install Visual Studio on the machine on which you are building the server functions.

The Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express edition is not compatible with CA Plex C++ builds because it does not support MFC.
