| Rhapsody C and C++ with Visual C++ 2005 Express |
+====================================+

Out of the box Rhapsody does not support Visual Studio Express but it can be easily integrated by using the attached zip files which contains a Rhapsody Visual C++ 2005 Express adapter.


Prerequisite:
=============

The adapter requires that Visual C++ 2005 Express and the Microsoft SDK is installed on your machine. If this is not the case to the folloing steps upfront:

Download and install Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads
-Download and install Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads


Steps to setup the adapter:
===============================================

1) Unzip the attached file zip File VS2005ExpressRhapsody7.1.1Share.zip to your Rhapsody install directory
The zip tool will overwrite some existing files in the Rhapsody/Share Folder.

2) In the folder Share/LangCpp and Share/LangC and Share/etc make sure that the folloing batch files are pointing to the correct Visual Express environment:
-Vcvars32_VisualStudio2005.bat
-vs2005_make.bat
-RiC_Rebuild_VS2005_Libraries.bat
-RiCpp_Rebuild_VS2005_Libraries.bat

3) In Share/LangCpp and Share/LangC Run the Rebuild Libraries batch files to rebuild the framework libraries.

4) To access the Visual Studio environment inside Rhapsody you have to modify your siteC++.prp / siteC.prp files
The adapter includes a sample_siteC++.prp and sample_siteC.prp file that shows how this can be done. If you do not have such a site prp file then simply rename these files to siteC++.prp and siteC.prp

Enjoy ...
