Re: Change configuration file path question

VBP does not set that registry value on its own and will not look in an alternate path unless you tell it to (by creating that registry key, etc.).

Will the new configuration file path be saved on my .bld file?
Setting that registry value is not stored in the .bld file

Is this only going to work on my computer? Will I have to place the configuration files on the specified path before running the build project?
For the build to operate identically on another computer, you would need to set that registry key and place your custom files in the specified path.

See http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/co...ationfiles.htm for the various ways you can initialize where VBP reads its config files from.
