Since this is not included in the product +originally, extra steps are needed to make it work. + +First, download and install the latest Platform SDK from +www.microsoft.com. + +Locate the files vcprojectengine.dll.express.config and +vcprojectengine.dll.config in the vc\vcpackages directory of +the Visual C++ Express installation. In these files, add the paths +to the Platform SDK to the Include, Library and Path tags. Be sure +to add them to the beginning of the list. + +This should work for both GUI and commandline builds, but a restart +may be necessary. |
