[sldev] Re: building from src: Can't find settings_files.xml

[Ambrosia]

Lear:

When trying to start the client from the MSVC, do these steps first:

Right click the secondlife-bin project, and set it as the startup project.
Then go into the project properties, and set
\indra\build-VC80\release\ (or debug, or relwithdeb) as the working
directory.

then try again. Basically the working directory is set to
\indra\build-VC80\, which is wrong.
