Summary0006234: Visual Studio: No support for building on different drive
DescriptionWhen the build directory is located on another drive than the source directory, custom build steps can fail because the generated .vcproj files issue only a 'cd' command, which does not change the drive. The fix is simple: Add a /d to the cd command (alas, this does not work for Windows versions below W2K).

See patch against 2.4.7 below.

 I'm re-opening this to add a relationship to a duplicate bug.

 The patch Bill committed has been removed. The fix to bug 6150 works on all windows versions and was already committed.
