Cloning a Duplicate Solution
-
I believe that I have properly documented the process of creating a new Visual Studio x64 C++ solution. As best I can tell, it is a 71 step procedure. I would like to do that one more (and, hopefully, last) time and call the solution something like "Start_Template" From that Start_Template, I would like to spawn my other solutions for the other lessons, without repeating the 71 step procedure. Is this possible ? If so, how ?

71 step solution to create a solution? Not sure what you mean there... but there's always scripts to help out with laying out environments. I used Perl pretty extensively for cross platform scripting, it was always relatively painless and the Windows installer is pretty good.

I watched the guy in the tutorial, and I took notes. I turned those notes into the 71 step procedure. I'll post it if you like, but I'm scared that I would be accused (maybe accurately) of flooding the group with dross

If those scripts are free and easy to use, point me to a site where I can get them, and thanks.

I don't know quite why you need so many steps, but you can make your own templates in Visual Studio from which to create future projects. My article Visual C++ Express, Custom Wizard[^] shows how to do it in the Visual Studio Express version. For the Professional versions I think you can create a template from any existing project.

Seems like an awfully high number of steps, doesn't seem right. I've been working with Studio for a long time and I don't think it's ever taken me 71 steps to do anything, heck, if it takes you that long to achieve something, why would you use an IDE at all? Rhethorial question of course, meaning an IDE should make your life easier, not harder.

I meant you can make your own script... if you don't know how to script, well... that's a whole different problem. :)
