- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition 6.0

This article was previously published under Q166716 SYMPTOMS
A header file listed in the SYSINCL.DAT file still appears in the External
Dependencies list.
CAUSE
The directory to the header file is specified with forward slash
(sys/test.h) rather than a backward slash (sys\test.h) in the SYSINCL.DAT
file. Specifying the directory with a backslash in the SYSINCL.DAT file
excludes files that are included in the source file with either forward or
backward slashes. For example:
#include <sys/test1.h>
#include <sys\test2.h>
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The files listed in SYSINCL.DAT should be excluded from dependency scanning
and not be displayed in the External Dependencies folder.
