Absolute Path versus Relative Path in Visual Studio 2008

Asked by darrellthomas in Microsoft Visual C++, C / C++ / C# Editors and IDEs, Editors IDEs

Tags: ,

say I have my visual studio set up in

D:\vs\

In my include directory, most of them are set up as:

$(VCInstallDir)include

I want to add another folder of includes that are in:

D:\myfiles\include

I can add the absolute path (works), but setting up the relative path is not working.  I would think it would be something like:  

$(SystemRoot)\myfiles\include

but the SystemRoot is really the C:\ drive.

I'm looking for a quick primer on path setup, and the help files didn't offer it!
