I do that as well. > But I need to pass thru several steps before generate the "Solution" for > Visual Studio (all that thing with development\cmake). It's really simple. 1. Download CMake if you haven't done it yet and Install: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html. 2. Download and install Qt. 3. Either run CMake Gui, and set "Where is the source code" to "<path-to-lyx>/lyx/development/cmake" and set "Where to build binaries" to "<path-to-lyx>/build/development/cmake" and hit Configure. (Choose Download dependencies) A MSVC project is created for you.

Something left from an old installation or from a different installer. Vincent
