BUG: Error Message: 'Not All of the Windows in the Workspace Could Be Opened'

• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When opening a workspace, you receive the following message:

Not all of the windows in the workspace could be opened.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

If the WizardBar is not needed by the user, close the WizardBar and then restart Visual C++ 6.0. If, however, you'd like to access the WizardBar functionality, close all windows before closing the affected workspaces.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
