The old Visual C++ Express Beta Directories problem

Will this ever be addressed properly I have followed the instructions to edit "VCProjectEngine.Dll.Express.config". I do not have a "vccomponents.dat". Visual C++ still does not  recognise my specified directories and can not find any external header files.

This is very frustrating.

The old Visual C++ Express Beta Directories problem

  • VFP Developer

    Hi and thanks for the reply.

    In general, the problem is the inability to specify include directories, which is a well known problem. However, the recommended workaround does not seem to be working for me as I mentioned in the original post.

    Specifically, at the moment this means I can`t build any projects using DirectX because the header files are not found.

    Is the commercial version of Visual C++ Express still due for release this month

    Thanks.

    Yes, the final bits of VS2005 is released at http://www.microsoft.com/events/2005launchevents/default.mspx.

    One way to include certain directories is to directly use the /I compiler option to point to any directory you wish.

    Hope this helps!
