I've been toying with the idea of doing a pre-build configuration. I've managed to whip up a clever little batch file which can get the PhysX SDK directory from the Windows Registry.

I can probably extend that post-build script to check those directories exist before copying them, so the compiler doesn't think the build failed - when it didn't.

That would be cool, but it would be easier just to fix the little squares once you publish to cvs lol,

doesnt anyone care?

Thanks. I find it very useful.
