Hi,

When you do a static build of ace/tao you don't get this error. I can
imagine that you don't always want to have a static build, but this is the
only way to continue at this moment. Microsoft has to fix first a compiler
bug. I made already reports from the vs.net beta version, but they didn't
fix it yet.
