Right now we are configuring a lab at the college to use the DarkGDK with Visual Studio 2008. Here is a link for those of you who are unfamiliar: check it out here
Considering how tedious the installation and setup is, I've decided to write a batch script for an unattended installation which is working fine. In order for it to be finished though, I have to somehow find a way to add some global Vc++ directories through the tools->options->projects and solutions->vc++ directories dialog box within visual studio.
This script is also going to be used by students to install dark on their own PCs so configuring one machine and re-imaging the lab is not an option.
Does anyone know where VS2008 reads and writes this data? I'm talking specifically about the include and lib directories. At this point I'm thinking that I can just append the directories to this file or write a registry key if I have to (as much as I hate to mess with the registry).
Also if anyone knows of a command to add these paths that would be much easier.
Visual Studio reads and writes the pathnames to a file called vccomponents.dat which is located in the %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0 directory
