Having converted a Visual Studio 2005 C++ solution to Visual Studio 2008, while regenerating it for the first time I got a bunch of "C2471: cannot update program database" (in italian: "C2471: impossibile aggiornare il database di programma") errors. Ouch... At first I tried installing the Microsoft hotfix but for unknown reason the setup refused to work, then I found this blog post by Loren Heiny, where he writes about a workaround he found. Perhaps the solution is even simpler: just restart Visual Studio 2008 and regenerate the project. Why? Oh well, the only hypothesis I could think of is that, immediately after a solution conversion, VC++ 2008 keeps some files opened and is not able to update them.
Have fun!
