Hello
I have setup visual studio express c++ project, with paths to included headers and libs
Now I like to duplicate this project to be with the same paths to included headers and libs
But with different name , I don’t what to go manually into .vcproj file and start to changes names
Is there better way?
Probably the easiest and fastest way of doing this is using Windows Explorer to just make a copy of the entire project. You will most likely need to assign the copied .vcproj file a new, unique GUID. To do this, open the file in Notepad and paste in a new
ProjectGUIDfromguidgen.exeor similar application. Once you’ve done that, you can simply open the duplicate project in Visual Studio and re-name it.Alternatively, you could try something like CopyWiz (although I’ve never used it, there is a free trial available to see if it works for you).
Unless you’re trying to create a template for new projects, in which case there is a better way.
