Libmysqld

Version 5.0.0 looks like it will have the same problems.

How to repeat:
Open with VS.NET 2003
Convert VC6 Workspace and Projects to VS.NET 2003
Select from menu: Build / Batch Build
Batch Build dialog: Press Select All button, Press Rebuild button

I am able for to compile with VC++ 6.0.
Please read the Manual's item:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Windows_VC++_Build.html

I did read the manual.
Where is your build picking up ML.EXE from for VC++ 6.0 ?

The Visual C++ 6.0 Enterprise Edition doesn't install ML.EXE.

Also, the rest of the issue pertains to using VS .NET 2003 and has nothing to do with building under VC++ 6.0

You can download from Microsoft the SP 5 and Processor package
and install them. The ml.exe is contained into the Processor
Package. Like you can see below on my machine:

please see above.

I am able also for to build on VS .NET however my version is 2002 Professional
Edition and the ML makes part of the install stuff:

Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET tools.
(If you also have Visual C++ 6.0 installed and wish to use its tools
from the command line, run vcvars32.bat for Visual C++ 6.0.)

These appear to be two separate issues, so I'm splitting them. The VC6 issue is now tracked in Bug#2472.
