When things go wrong, people are lost. Knowing the _cause_ is vital. If you don't make is explicit, people will NEVER learn..........

Make sure to do the same with all configurations you might use - Win32/Win64, Release/Debug, Static/Shared. Also, don't forget about *.lib and *.dll files. DLL go into a PATHed folder.

Sorry, no doc. Figured it out by clicking around IDE settings.You can set include folders for all configurations and all platforms at once by clicking drop-down menus (it is where you see Active(Debug) and Active(Win32)).Create a folder for DLLs and add it to the PATH list from My Computer -> Properties -> ... -> Environment Variables.

.vsprops (Property sheets) are quite useful for setting properties which are common to several projects. For my projects, I use one debug.vsprops and one release.vsprops which manage 99% of the properties. Projects may redefine the properties if needed
