I've seen projects maintain those project files in separate directories. I don't think it can be automated, unfortunately. The thing is that for hobbyist, it's probably much easier to get Visual C++ 2010 express, but the express edition for 2008 is no more available. For people working in a company, they likely have a paid version, which might be older. Oftentimes, upgrading is not an option, since it's dictated by when the company decides to upgrade. I guess that it's not too much of a problem to use 2010 and convert to 2008 for people that don't have 2010. > > I've moved over to Linux for now and don't have a VS environment setup. > And mainly for all of this type of crazy stuff that MS does. > I moved to Linux years ago, yet I learned the joy of virtual machines ;) > > > Gerry > > > > > On 06/02/2011 03:59 PM, Marc-André Moreau wrote: > > I'm currently taking a look at Visual Studio 2010, which I guess is > > getting more and more adopted over Visual Studio 2008.
