How to edit system build paths in Visual Studio 2005

Question

I want to change the build system path to create my VC ++ project in VS2005.

When I try to create a project, I get an error that the specified header file could not be opened. I have a header file in "Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include" .

But the path present in the 'Build system path' is "Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include" , which I found in the Error dialog box when I tried to open this header file through code.

So, I want to change the path in the build system path to "Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include" .

How can i do this? How to open Building System Paths in VS2005.?

Answer 1

You can add include directives rather than changing the path to the build system. Right-click project in Solution Explorer | The properties

C / C ++ | General information

Select "Additional Included Directives"

Here you can find the place where you include the files.
