Cannot set VC++ Directories in the Options dialog of Visual C++ Express Edition

Hey Guys,

The following was noted in the "Known Problems" release.

Details: The VC++ Directories page on the Options dialog does not have a list box for viewing and modifying the directories used during a build. Consequently, it is not possible to modify the build directories using the IDE UI.

Workaround: C++ Directories can be added, removed or changed by modifying the VCProjectEngine.dll.express.config file located in the .\vc\vcpackages subdirectory of the Visual C++ Express Edition install location in a text editor, saving the changes and restarting the Visual C++ Express Edition

The Workaround does NOT work! This really is a pain in the butt, can anyone recomend a solution that works?

Thanks!

The easiest way to use the PSDK with VC2005 Express is:

1. Create a directory "PlatformSDK" under "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC"
2. Copy the "bin", "include" and "lib" directory from the PSDK-installation into this directory.

Then you do not need to change any config file.

Newest PSDK-ISO is available at:
