My friend has problem with installing EE on Windows 7 RC. He makes everything like in Documentation but he has these errors:

1>------ Build started: Project: Tutorials, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Compiling...
1>00 - Start.cpp
1> : fatal error C1033: cannot open program database ''
1>Build log was saved at "file://d:\EsenthelEngineSDK\Tutorials\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>Tutorials - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Do you know why?

I don't know, is he using VS 2008?
EE works fine on Win7, but dont have an idea about win 7 rc

Yes. He's using VS 2008.

all I can tell is that "cannot open program database" should have something to do with the generated PDB file during building,
but why its giving an error I dont have an idea.

Ok thanks.

I think you need to download VS2008 SP1. This is probably. I am not sure.
