FIX: Win32(80x86) Release Target Not Displayed in Windows 95

• The Development Environment, included with:
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2

SYMPTOMS

In the drop-down target list of the Visual Workbench, the Win32(80x86) Release target is not displayed for selection under Windows 95. This problem does not occur when running under Windows NT.

CAUSE

The number of items displayed in the target drop-down list box is one less than the total number of targets available. The one missing is usually the top most target. If you select the top most target as the default, the bottom most target disappears.

RESOLUTION

When the target drop-down list box is in focus, press the UP ARROR or DOWN ARROW key to move up or down in the list. The missing target will become visible, so you can select the target for the build.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0.
