DSXchange

I've installed DS EE 7.5x2. Prior to installing DS Server I had Visual Studi0 2005 installed with Visual C++ in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC folder.

I read that I'm supposed to have Visual Studio C++ .Net 2003 installed as a pre-requisite. My questions:

Doesn't DS EE support Visual Studio 2005 C++ compiler?
Does anybody has any experience with running DS server with Visual Studio 2005 C++ compiler?

Should I uninstall all Visual Studio 2005 components and install Visual Studio .Net 2003?

Below is the error message I'm getting:

The 7.5.2X install was tested and certified for Windows 2003 so the compile options are for that version. You could try switching to the 2005 C++ compile options that get set by the DataStage 8 install and let us know if this works on DataStage 7 installs:

I tried the parameter values you provided -- didn't work. I installed Visual Studio .Net 2003 and then reset the environment variable that I modified without re-installing the DataStage again and it started working. My job was simple; just an ODBC stage, Transformer, and Sequenetial Stage. It was giving me errors while compiling the job but now it is working fine. Thanks!!
