Build a VS 2008 solution in VSTS 2010

Question

Hi,

I want to build a solution in VSTS 2010, which is created in older version VS 2008.

When i created a Win32 Console application project and added the existing project (VS 2008) to it, the .cpp file in the Source Files showed errors in the header files.
eg.,Inventor/Win/SoWin.h

Please help.

Thanks in advance
Saritha

Hi Saritha,

According to your description, I'd like to move this thread to "Team Foundation Server - Version Control Forum" for better support, where more experts live.

Thanks for your understanding.
Have a nice day!

Answer 4

It looks simply like files are missing. Where are they compared to your project files? Is it possible that you have "additional" include directories in your VS2008 (under tools->Options)?. If so, you will need to add them to your project, I think.

Answer 5

Thank you for the reply.

Please specify where & how to find the additional include directories in Tools->Options.
