Linker errors in VS2008 after switching from FDK9 to FDK11

Question

Dear FrameMaker Gurus.I am working with an FDK9 client compiled in Visual Studio 2008.The company plans to migrate from FM9 to FM11.After downloading FDK11 and applying necessary changes to code, linking appropriate libraries and recompiling, I'm getting linking errors (mostly LNK2019 and LNK2001 in struct.lib and fdk.lib).I’m suspecting older version of Visual Studio as the culprit, I know that Visual Studio 2010 is recommended (perhaps even required) when compiling FDK clients.However, is there a workaround to correctly compile the FDK11 client under VS2008?

Adamus,

To the best of my knowledge, VS2010 is required. Some time ago, I was in the same situation and got no further than you with VS2008. I posted to forums such as this, but got no other advice. I ended up downloading the free VS2010 Express package and thus far it has been working fine. No conflicts with VS2008, even when both are running simultaneously.
