Solution folders error in Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

Just tried compiling rev 801 and was greeted with this error in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition:

Quote:

Solution folders are not supported in this version of the application.

Solution folders 'Solution Items' will be displayed as unavailable.

I don't know when this started? but it's not good since alot of people compile with this.

I noticed this part was added to the solution file:

Code:

Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "Solution Items", "Solution Items", "{A8888EE2-5A40-415B-80AF-E316491C5FB3}"

        ProjectSection(SolutionItems) = preProject

                changelog.txt = changelog.txt

        EndProjectSection

which is causing the problem.

Yeah this is basically what I was trying to post about last night. I was just really tired and didn't explain it fully.

I saw your message and it made it compile the latest rev...

You can ignore the error since it's only the 'changelog' which is added to the project solution.

However, this should be removed from the solution as it will only cause confusion for people who do their own compiles.

I just compiled Rev799 last night and that error did not show up, must be something really really new. I saw the post Zeice made but my attempt to help wasn't much help if that is the error that was causing the problem.

Reverted in rev 823.

Thanks KLS!
