Changing/updating environment vars in Visual Studio?

[Masterxilo]

I recently installed the latest windows sdk (7.0).

But the environment variable/"macro" $(WindowsSdkDir) from msvc still points to the old location ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\" instead of "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\").

 

I executed all

• C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat,
  
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat and
  
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat (I think this should be the only one that has to be run.)

with admin privileges.

From what I know, these should update the variable from the registry "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\CurrentInstallFolder", where the correct current install folder is stored (I checked).

 

But even after running these the WindowsSdkDir variable still points to the old location.

 

Any ideas?

try Tools->Options->Project and Solutions->VC++ Directories .. you can change it there

+ delete old one ..

 

EDIT: ah .. it's about variable, damn, don't know

Yes I know I could manually ad the new folder and delete the old one, but I want to use the variable.

 

Nvm. I found and solved the problem.

For some reason the variable updating batch file looks up the vars at HKCU (looks like it's not allowed to read from HKLM), but the installation only updated the values in HKLM. I copied those over and it works fine now.

The included ribbon framework is really cool:
