Author VC++ 6.0 "not a valid browse information file" error
Mark

I am using Visual Studio C++ 6.0. I have had not problem up until
today. Now I can no longer use "Go to definition" from the context
menu. I get the error message box "This is not a valid browse
information file". I have removed the Debug and Release dirs, closed
the app, reboot my system and I still get this message when I try to
use "Go to definition".

I have searched the internet and groups and have only found questions
but no answers to this issue. Does any one know the cause or a
solution to this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I found why the BSC file is not rebuilt. I am getting the following
error when building in Debug which has the Project, Settings, Browse
Info, Build Browse Info check box checked. This has always been check
and I use the "Go to definition" often. Starting today so some reason
I am receiving this error

Creating browse info file...
BSCMAKE: warning BK4502 : truncated .SBR file '.\Debug\StdAfx.sbr' not
in Debug/P1.bsc
BSCMAKE: error BK1513 : nonincremental update requires all .SBR files
Error executing bscmake.exe.

P1.exe - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)

The StdAfx.sbr is only 1345KB. There are other SBR files bigger than
this one. Does anyone know why I might be getting this error and how I
can fix it?

Thanks,
