Hi,

With VS.NET 2003 one could write the relative address of folders as in:

..\..\include

in the IDE and the starting address would always be the current project
directory. Now in 2005 the starting address seems to be the address where the
IDE is installed!!

Not only is this strange, but I don't quite get why this is so!

Any ideas or workarounds?

Signature

Thanks in advance,

Juan Dent, M.Sc.

I cannot repro this scenario in my machine. Based on my tests, the relative
path which you specified in the "Additional Include Directories" could be
worked as the same as in VS2003.

But one difference in VS2005 is the project directory's location--unlike
the VS2003, whose default project directory is also its solution's
directory, in VS2005 the project has its own directory under the solution's
directory:

in VS2003
.\Demo1: Demo1.sln, Demo1.vcproj,Demo1.cpp,Demo1.h...

in VS2005:
.\Demo2: Demo2.sln, ... Demo2(Dir)...
.\Demo2\Demo2\: Demo2.vcproj,Demo2.cpp,Demo2.h...

So I think your problem may be caused by this, you need to use the
following relative path in VS2005:
.\..\..\include

Thanks!
