Resource editing not supported on Visual C++ Express SKU

I'm just trying to get Torque 3D set up right now, but something's not working. I select Edit Source in the Toolbox, but Visual C++ won't let me look at the code. It just says "Resource editing not supported on Visual C++ Express SKU". Anyone know what's going on?

Ok, I finally got it to work. I switched it to the class tab...but got I 57 fatal errors saying "no such file or directory".

Perhaps the last time you ran Visual Studio you switched to the Resources tab in the Solution viewer and it is remembering that layout so when you are trying to run it again it tries to edit the resource file in Torque and throws up that error (not being able to edit resource files is a built-in limitation in Visual C++ Express to help upsell to the for-pay versions).
Maybe try opening up Visual C++ by itself (no project) and switching the tab to a file or class view?
You could also try deleting the .suo file that is in the same directory as the Visual C++ solution file (it may be hidden) to reset the settings for that particular project (in case it is storing the layout on a per-project basis).
