Hello,

I attempted to load the file 'WebKit\win\WebKit.vcproj\WebKit.vcproj'
using Visual Studio 2005, but received the following error:

/***********************************************************************************************/
The following error has occurred during XML parsing:

File: C:\cygwin\home\Jack Wootton\WebKit\WebKit\win\WebKit.vcproj\WebKit.vcproj
Line: 23
Column: 4
Error Message:
Property sheet file
'$(WebKitLibrariesDir)\tools\vsprops\common.vsprops' was not found or
failed to load.
The file 'C:\cygwin\home\Jack
Wootton\WebKit\WebKit\win\WebKit.vcproj\WebKit.vcproj' has failed to
load.
/***********************************************************************************************/

I searched for 'commin.vsprops' and found it in

WebKit\WebKitLibraries\win\tools\vsprops

The error message shows visual studio is looking for it in

$(WebKitLibrariesDir)\tools\vsprops\

Is the error caused by the missing 'win' directory and if so why is it missing?

Many thanks,
Jack
