I made the mistake of registering the PSDK to Visual Studio .net 2005. It
removed all the installed search paths setup by the application. I tried to
repair and then remove/add VS and it did not restore the paths. How can I
reset the paths or what are all the paths ????

Thanks

Hi Timothy,

Based on the description, it appears your VS2005's VC++ include/library
directories setting has been flushed by the registering of the PSDK. Please
let me know if I have misunderstood anything.

If so, I suggest you can try to delete/rename the VCComponents.dat to
remove the current directory setting.
(VCComponents.dat is a hidden file and located in the C:\Documents and
Settings\user-name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ directory)

Thanks!

Best regards,

I have a similar broken paths type of a question. I ran a batch file
intended to update my include paths and set up my IDE.
Unfortunately, the batch file did not work, and now I cannot compile any C++
project. I believe the paths have been screwed up.

I've tried creating new ATL projects, MFC projects and Win32 projects. With
MFC and Win32 projects, the error message is
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\afxv_w32.h(166): fatal error C1083: Cannot open
include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory

With the ATL project, the error is :
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\atlbase.h(61): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include
file: 'winsock2.h': No such file or directory

Any suggestions? I've tried repairing and reinstalling. I'm not sure what
to do next.
