When I try to open tools\Win32\XBMC_PC.vcproj I get an error message "Project 'C:\XBMC-Devel\xbmc\lib\UnrarXLib\UnrarXLib.vcproj' failed to open." Same thing happens when I try to open UnrarXLib.vcproj directly, and when I run build.bat I get a bunch of unresolved external symbol errors relating to UnrarXLib.

This thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/archive/index.php/t-32403.html) references my problem, and there is mention of modifying UnrarXLib.vcproj to remove any references to the XDK (which I don't have). I have tried to do this, but can't get things to work.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

If anybody is interested, after struggling some more, I got it to work. Here's a link. Basically, delete any of the xbox configs, leaving only the win32 configs. Then open the project, change the targets from xbox to win32, then save and close. The you can build from the main xbmc project.

I struggled with this and ultimately gave up because I'm lazy and lack any real instincts when it comes to this kind of thing if guide doesn't work I'm screwed.
Am glad to see you've beaten it I'm sure it will save some one a big headache in the future. the build setup bat is more my speed nice and easy
