>>Is animation.vcx in the project at all? If not, then add it (I'm not really sure the project manager analyzes newobject() and similar calls).
>>If it's there, you may need to run your exe in a debugger, making sure you have no path at all before starting. You may even need to rename your development directory, just to make sure the classes won't be found elsewhere but in the exe itself. Then trace through the creation of the animation object and see why doesn't it return an object.

Just backup whatever files are involved in this... you never know what next version may do.
