<p align=left><font face=Arial size=2>I am in the process of migrating an application developed under Windows NT 3.51 and VC++ 4.2 to Windows XP and VC++ 2005.  Needless to say, Ive been encountering a lot of issues.  Thanks to help from the forums, Ive been able to resolve the intractable ones.  I now have what I hope is the final issue requiring resolution.</font>
<p align=left> 
<p align=left>I get the following error: "CVT1100 Duplicate Resource: type ICON, name: 1, language 0x0409"

<p align=left>According to the help, I need to specify /TLBID and another number.  While I could proceed willy nilly and start plugging in numbers until something works, Id like to understand what Im doing and why.

<p align=left>A related question is why does the conversion wizard not fix this for me?  I have to say that conversion was a royal pain - I had to organize the result by hand (with help from forum gurus) because the header and resource files didnt appear in the solution.  I also had to correct between 300 and 400 instances of "deprecated" functions.  The wizard was not particularly wizardly in its operation.

<p align=left>Im also getting a link error - LNK1123.  I assume that is due to the CVT1100 error and when that is resolved the link error will go away.

<p align=left>A final question: I get a notification that WINVER is not defined and the compile is defaulting to 0x0502 - Windows Server 2003.  Do I want this default, given that Im using 2005?  Is there some value I should assign to WINVER and, if so, what is it?
