Porting to CS5

Question

I'm trying to port from CS4 to CS5. I managed to get my CS4 project up and running, but when I compile I get a couple of errors like shown below. I double checked all include directories and those seem to be OK, compared to the sampe projects provided in the CS5 SDK.
Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class PMString & __thiscall PMString::operator=(class PMString const &)" (__imp_??4PMString@@QAEAAV0@ABV0@@Z) WPPagesPrinter.obj IDConnector
Error 11 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class PMString & __thiscall PMString::operator=(class PMString const &)" (__imp_??4PMString@@QAEAAV0@ABV0@@Z) referenced in function "private: void __thiscall TPublisher::MakePages(class UIDRef const &,class XMLReference const &)" (?MakePages@TPublisher@@AAEXABVUIDRef@@ABVXMLReference@@@Z) Publisher.obj IDConnector

Pectora:
   If you are still having these problems, and if you have checked to ensure that all paths are pointing to the correct libraries (i.e. CS5 libraries being used in CS5 projects) then the only other possibility that I can think of is a corrupt library.  You are going to have to download and reinstall the SDK.
   If you are up to it, however, a second, less extreme option is to use DollyXs to recreate the project, leaving it pristine (I.e. don't add any changed code).  Build it first to ensure that the code as created by DollyXS will build without error.  Once that is established, carefully move all code from the old project into the new project.  You may want to compile/link after each new module is added, though this may not be practical because of dependencies.  Assuming all else is correct, that may fix your problem--and the solution is a little less extreme than reinstalling the SDK.
   If, however, this does not work, then it's a really good bet that you have some corruption somewhere.
