In VC++ 6.0 there was a file in vc98\include called largeint.h. It is
missing in VC7. Please put it back. I've had to copy it from my VC6 folder
to get my project to compile. I mentioned this when Beta 2 came out but
nobody replied. Note: largeint.lib is still there, it's just the include
file that's gone.

Ted.

Curious. I have VC7 beta 1 and it is there.

Eventually they removed it in beta 2, but I did not yet install it.

Confirmed. I have beta 2 installed - the .lib is there, the .h isn't.

Perhaps because the 64-bit integer is a native type for the VC7 compiler and
it can do all those things using the normal operators. I don't know that for
sure, it just would make sense considering what's in the largeint.h of VC6.

Hi Ted,

The largeint.h and largeint.lib were originally from the Platform SDK.
The PSDK has since removed these files. As a normal cleanup, we removed
files that no longer shipped with the PSDK. The largeint.lib file somehow
fell through the cracks and remained. We will be removing that from the
next release of Visual Studio (the one after Visual Studio .NET).

Of course, you have mentioned the work around. Just copy these files from
VC6 into your current project.

Cheerio!
