Building Visual Studio 05 Projects

[mweinberger]

Hi,

I'm using Visual Build Professional v6.0a (VBPro) and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional (VS05). I have a solution file (SLN) , which contains a Configuration project (namely one to build a CAB file), which has the extension, VDPROJ. When I try to build the solution using VBPro, I get the warning show below that MS Build doesn't build solutions of type VDProj. If I open the solution in VS05 IDE, then the project builds nicely. How do I get VBPro to build the solution.

Thanks in advance,

Martin A. Weinberger

MSBuild does not support building of solutions containing Setup projects. Enter devenv in the override field on the Options tab to build solutions containing Visual Studio 2005 Setup projects.
