Firstly I was getting errors that excpt.h and then crtdefs.h couldn't be found: for some reason (VS2012 installed before VS2010? .NET 3.5 not installed on Windows Server?) the FT_VC_Libraries_Core feature sometimes doesn't get installed. A while ago I wrote a note about it: > It was determined that various VS2010 headers including stdio.h, iostream etc. hadn't been installed, > and a uninstall/reinstall/repair didn't fix it.

Then I ran into the strong name issue that still needs to be documented (I'll submit a patch later): C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\x64\sn.exe -Vr *,36e4ce08b8ecfb17 (just running sn.exe from a VS2010 prompt gets you the 32-bit version, while GenerateWixInclude.exe is apparently a 64-bit assembly despite being under build\ship\x86) Finally, something was going wrong with Windows. After reinstalling the machine a simple 'msbuild /p:VisualStudioVersion="11.0"' now works. -- Bruce Cran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
