Upgrading and Command Options

When upgrading from an earlier version of RTX, it is recommended that you create a new project and include existing source files. The Visual Studio upgrade wizards may create files with incorrect compile and link options.

Open the .vcxproj file in Visual Studio 2013. Click Yes in the prompt to upgrade.
Right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, and then click Properties.
If C Runtime was linked in, change startupCrt.obj to StartupCrt.lib under Configuration Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies. Change all other references to .obj files to .lib
Change all references of rtxlibcmt.lib to libcmt.lib.

Upgrading Applications to RTX 2016 and Visual Studio 2015

Steps

Open the .vcxproj file in Visual Studio 2015. Click Yes in the prompt to upgrade.
Right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, and then click Properties.
If C Runtime was linked in, change startupCrt.obj to StartupCrt.lib under Configuration Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies. Change all other references to .obj files to .lib
Change all references of rtxlibcmt.lib to libcmt.lib.
If Additional Dependencies references libcmt.lib, you must also add libucrt.lib and libvcruntime.lib. If you are using libcmtd.lib (Debug libraries) you must use libucrtd.lib and libvcruntimed.lib.
