SPOCLIENT not set?

[Tim G.]

Hello,

I am trying to open one of the several managed projects within the porting
kit. For instance the DPWS-Stack:
C:\MicroFrameworkPK_v4_0\Framework\Core\Dpws\DpwsStack\Dpws.csproj

I am using Visual Studio 2008 but when trying to open the project I get the
following error message:

"
Unable to read the project file 'Dpws.csproj'.
C:\MicroFrameworkPK_v4_0\Framework\Core\Dpws\DpwsStack.Dpws.csproj(12,11):
The imported project
"C:\tools\Targets\Microsoft.SPOT.CSharp.Targets" was not found.
Confirm ....
"

Now taking a closer look at the second path and the Dpws.csproj at (12,11)
it seems like the $(SPOCLIENT)-makro does not work or the SPOCLIENT-Variable
is not set. Therefore the path is "C:\tools\...." instead of
"C:\MicroFrameworkPK_v4_0\tools\..."

I have already tried to run "setenv_vs9.cmd" which should set SPOCLIENT (via
"setenv_base.cmd" - leading to the same error.
I have also tried to manually set the envirionment variable directly in the
windows registry (adding it to the env-vars of the current user) - again
without success.

Of course I can just create a new project and add all the source-files,
however this is somewhat inconvenient.

Has anyone encountered the same problems?
And more interesting: any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Tim

p.s.: Btw. I am using Windows 7, but a coworker has encoutered the same
problem on WinXP.

Hello Tim,

after calling setenv_vs9.cmd, you should start VS from within the command
shell where you called setenv_vs9.cmd. Use 'devenv <xxx.csproj'
