Sounds to me like a standard runtime library conflict.  On VC, as you may
know, you need to make sure that all parts of the final app are compiled
with the same runtime library (single/multithreaded/multithreaded DLL).  I
think you just needed to change the libraries in all the workspaces to
match.

Note that this is a standard VC issue, and not specific to ODE (or my
workspace).  I will mention this in the next ReadMe file though.

Indeed, and I gave him the answer (several times ; ).
