Hi folks, fairly straightforward question here - I've added a project to a Visual Studio solution already containing several projects. When the solution opens, it looks for my project files using an absolute path and it loads fine for me, but as its under version control (using Subversion) its causing an error when my colleagues attempt to open it on their local machines.

Any idea how I can tell Visual Studio to use relative paths? I've looked in project properties, solution properties and Visual Studio options but with no luck!

EDIT: I should probably mention that its a Setup Project (i.e. for building a .msi installer). All other projects in the solution are C++/MFC projects, maybe that could be a factor?
