I don't think this has anything to do with the 'visual leak detecter' (sic?)... I'm not familiar with it.

Anyway, the PRJ0050 error occurs because Visual Studio attempts to auto-register the DLL generated by the project, using a post-build step (see Project Settings), and you are not logged in as a user with permission to modify the registry.

So, either Run Visual Studio as an administrator (if you're on Windows Vista), if you want to allow auto-registration, or remove the auto-registration post-build step from the project.
