  I just upgraded to Visual Studio 2005 and want to know how to set the development environment to create missing build directories. For example. If I have my intermediate directory path under /test/debug/intermediate/ I do not want to have to go and manually create that directory before doing the build.

  Hi, Apologies in advance if this may be off topic, but i think it is an interesting and challenging issue related to WM device programming ( besides, no one has been able to assist of yet in other news group ).
