Non-progress report with VS2010 -Tim Bell's patches, and perhaps the residual cruft from the "uninstalled" VS2012, don't seem to be compatible with VS2010. These look like patch problems, not faulty uninstall problems, but I did need to do a by-hand removal of environment variables referencing VS2012 (machine reboot was not sufficient). The three problems encountered thus far: 1) patched system looks for msvcr110.dll, but (in system32 on Windows 7) only msvcr100.dll is available. 2) patched system expects that compiler will generate (in 32-bit mode) for "x86", not "80x86" I tweaked my built to handle those two cases. The latest failure I have not yet worked around: 3) Link complains about an extra argument _build_pch_file.obj when linking adlc . Any hints as to how to deal with this last error are welcome.
Disable pre-compiled headers ? David

Did manage successful builds without closed subdirectories, using VS2012 and DirectX 2010. Required installation+build of Freetype using instructions from Volker's blog, adapted slightly for updated activex and new build directory expectations. Not sure what is the best plan here; the fix is all of mkdir ../../../lib cp * ../../../lib Compared to the additional steps needed to get it built, this is not a big deal, so I am not sure it justifies whacking on the build scripts. VS2012, the studio, does not come with 64-bit support, even though the compilers are there, so this is a glitch. So, from the list to consider: { VS2010, VS2012, VS2012sp1} x {express, professional} x {32, 64} x {open, closed} the results thus far are: VS2012 x express x {32, 64} x closed = builds, runs VS2012 x express x 32 x open = builds, runs (release and slowdebug) VS2012 x express x 64 x open = blocked by initial inability to build 64-bit freetype next step is to try VS2010 express to see if it still works.
