Visual C++ Version 1.00
Windows XP Media Center Edition 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2

I am attempting to transfer Visual C++ Version 1.00 from Windows 95 to the
Windows XP Media Center Edition 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2 operating system.
When I attempt a build, the following error message appears in a pop up
window:

The MMD.386 virtual device driver is not loaded in Windows. Ensure that the
line ‘DEVICE=<Directory Specified in Setup for Binaries>\MMD.386’ exists in
your SYSTEM.INI [386enh] section.

The C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI file contains the following:

[386enh]
device=*vmcpd
WinExclusive=0
device=C:\MSVC\BIN\DOSXNT.386
device=C:\MSVC\BIN\MMD.386
woafont=dosapp.FON
EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON
EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON
CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON
CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON

The above information was confirmed with the msconfig utility.
I have verified the existence of a virtual device driver file
‘C:\MSVC\BIN\MMD.386‘.

I tried setting the compatibility mode for the Visual C++ application to
Windows 95, but the same build error occurs.

Can anyone suggest how I should resolve this error?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't VC++ 1.0 a 16 bit app over a decade old?
In theory it should run but if not, I would have no idea how to make it run.
You really should upgrade to a newer version, and there's even a free one
that has more capabilities than 1.0 did...

You might also ask on microsoft.public.windows.developer.mediacenter as
there's more developers there than here...
