How do I get the PSDK working for VC++ 8.0 b2?
Code:
Step 3. Update the the Visual C++ Directories in the Projects and Solutions section in the Options dialog box.
In that section, you'll want to add the paths to the appropriate subsection:
Executable files - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin
Include files - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include
Library files - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\lib
Note: For Beta 2, you cannot set the Visual C++ Directories in the Options dialog of Visual C++ Express Edition. To work around this issue, you can update the Visual C++ Directories by modifying the VCProjectEngine.dll.express.config file located in the \vc\vcpackages subdirectory of the Visual C++ Express Edition install location. Please make sure that you also delete the file "vccomponents.dat" located in the "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VCExpress\8.0" if it exists before restarting Visual C++ Express Edition.
Just tell that to some some random guy. Since I have beta 2, I open the VCProjectEngine.dll.express.config file. I get the following:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<VCPlatformConfigurationFile
Version="8.00"
>
<Platform
Name="VCProjectEngine.dll"
Identifier="Win32"
>
<Directories
Include="$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)include", "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include"
Library="$(VCInstallDir)lib;$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\lib;$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib;$(VSInstallDir);$(VSInstallDir)lib", "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\lib"
Path="$(VCInstallDir)bin;$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\bin;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\Tools\bin;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\tools;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\ide;$(ProgramFiles)\HTML Help Workshop;$(FrameworkSDKDir)bin;$(FrameworkDir)$(FrameworkVersion);$(VSInstallDir);$(PATH)", "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin"
Reference="$(FrameworkDir)$(FrameworkVersion)"
Source="$(VCInstallDir)crt\src"
/>
</Platform>
</VCPlatformConfigurationFile>
How am I suppose to update this? Where does my executable path go? Where does anything go? These directions are horrible. Is the path suppose to look like this: "...", "..."? Ontop of this discussion, do I dare ask how to put DirectX SDK on this?
Code:
Please make sure that you also delete the file "vccomponents.dat" located in the "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VCExpress\8.0" if it exists before restarting Visual C++ Express Edition.
Okay... and how can I access this path?
Thanks in advanced.
