-"glu2d3d - Debug Win32"
-"Torque Demo - Debug Win32"
projects are out of date and if i want to compile anyway, so i click yes and i get the following error:

Yeah, i followed that step by step twice. i also tried a few other directions posted by members that were more or less the same as that with slight changes.

Go To:
Project -> Torque Demo Properties -> Configuration Properties-> Manifest Tool ->Input and Output -> Embed Manifest = No
This might work.
Only other option would be to reinstall it....

i did the following... i copied my cmd.exe from system32 to the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin" folder and now it seems to be compiling.
apparently there is path reading issue with VC... so if u change %SystemRoot%\system32 to C:\WINDOWS\system32 you should be ok. or just copy the file over!

i followed the steps outlined by the Guide to Compiling TGE 1.4 with Visual Studio 2005 Express. after running my first compile i recieved the following output:
Torque Demo - 24 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 3 failed, 4 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
i browsed the forums and found this post, read through it, then followed the advice it provided.
unfortunately, i am still recieving the same erros with the compile. going through the output, i'm finding many reports like this:
"c:\torque\sdk\engine\platformwin32\platformwin32.h(21) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory"
anybody have any ideas?
thanks in advance!

Be sure to follow all the instrucytions on the Microsoft site also about changes needed to be made to the express install. Or you will have problems in the future.

has a list of changes you need to make.

Turns out the Tools-Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories paths can be majorly screwed up by previous versions of VC++.
In my case, $(VSInstallDir) wasn't pointing anywhere ... so I added the paths to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin", etc by hand and it works!

Just in case anyone runs into similar problems and ends up searching here, I had a similar error at first, except it couldn't find cl.exeTurns out the Tools-Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories paths can be majorly screwed up by previous versions of VC++.

Solved the problem. Make sure to rebuild each .lib file from the solution explorer before building your project. Or rebuild the one that its failing on! This worked for me in VS.net2003.Jon.
