Yes. The test\Makefile programs all compile.
Vlazy and Tcollex crash with page faults in <unknown> at
0084:80000000 and 0084:00000009, respectively.
hworld.exe crashes 80% of the time with a page fault in ROOT_GPAD.dll at
0137:008cf2d6
I believe the environment is set up correctly.

Yes. I can create console applications without problem. However, I am
trying to make a dialog-based application. There are no sample projects
included in \test which address this.
I begin by using the MFC AppWizard to create the shell of a dialog-based
application.
Now I add a button to the dialog and add a function to handle the button
click:
void CRootTestDlg::OnButton1(){
TROOT mytest("mytest","Test of Root + MSVC");
TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c", "The Hello Canvas", 400, 400);
}
Use the default project flags and attempt to compile in debug mode.
It will not compile, bombing out with a series of errors in TGXW.h:
c:/root/include\TGXW.h(161) : warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'CreateWindowA'

I think the main question is can you use MSVC-based GUI objects
(dialogs, buttons, etc.) in the same application as you use Root-based GUI
objects (canvas, pad, etc...)?
As I said, I suspect I am missing something obvious here.
Thanks Again for any insight.
