Problems running FTN95 in Visual Studio 2005

When set to .NET framework I get the following error message:

'Unable to communicate with FTN95LIB'

When I switch to Win32 Framework, program complies and links, but when I run it (w/ or w/out debug) it opens a cmd window and hangs.

The *.exe runs fine under Plato or an MKS k-shell.

How can I get full VS functionality (either .NET or Win32, don't really care).

A couple of questions:

Which version of Visual Studio are you using? (oops, saw the title of the thread - VS 2005)

Are you running the latest version of FTN95 and the plugin?

The error related to ftn95lib is one that I have not seen for some time. Can you let me know what the error number is, as I am sure that this message was removed. If you are up to date, can you ensure you only have one copy of the compiler, dbk_link and salflibc.dll on the path.

The other issue with loading Win32 programs is also odd. There is one problem that we know of related to a particular anti-virus program causing problems with DLL relocation (which is solved internally and will be in the next release) but that only affects Win32 programs when debugging.
