I'm not an expert with the <solution> task, but I would recommend that you do the following:
* If possible make sure all paths to files, resources, etc, in your solution and project files are relative to the solution root directory. (VS.NET will show some of the paths in the properties as absolute paths but they are really stored as relative paths... I would open the solution file with an editor and look through for paths... but don't change it! That way you can tell if the paths are stored as relative paths or absolute paths.) * Try to make sure that everything needed to build that solution is under a single tree underneath that solution root directory. I think that your troubles will be minimized and then you will probably have the ability to get your sources and place them anywhere as long as they are all under a common solution root directory. I'm trying to build a few solutions that not only have projects in completely different directory trees, but also require that they be in a particular drive. I have a hard time worrying about paths... -- Edwin G.

Will I have to make an exact duplicate directory structure as what's on the development machine? Do I have to start with the same drive and work my way to the project level or are the paths relative the .sln file or build file? Brian M.
