Answer 1

If you convert cryptest.sln from VS2005 to VS2010, you will meet a problem. When you compile source code, the compiler will show an error:

c1xx : fatal error C1027: Inconsistent values for /Ym between creation and use of precompiled header

You can resolve this problem by:

1. Going to Project Properties --> Configuration Properties --> C/C++ --> Precompiled Headers

2. Changing it to "Not Using Precompiled Headers"
