I'll set is up again from scratch. The way I set it up I had to manually (in the VS interface) add the dependencies. I think perhaps because I put it in a directory or created a project then imported the files.

Did you open the solution files? Normally all dependencies should be fine then, no matter where the repo is cloned to.
Only if you change folders inside the repo, then it gets messed up.

Yep! Downloaded the plugin for VS for GIT. Let that do all the work in fetching the files. When it was built it grabbed anything missing and built it all perfectly.

I'd made it all much harder than it needed to be. Using Git for Windows, thinking I needed to fuss with all the dependencies etc. Before this become 'second nature' I'll have a look back at the Wiki to see why my approach was so wrong to start with. Was it me or how I read the instructions.

Perhaps here it should say something like this.

Visual Studio implementation (without forking, just to build and look)

1. Download the tool for Visual Studio for Git.
2. Attach to the resource files here...
3. Build the project and the required dependencies are loaded automatically

Then perhaps some comments about the set up in VS. Something about setting this up so that the Form Designer is set to not be top of screen and perhaps an short explanation of why XAML is invalid markup in the form designer.

Is it worth me remove this and doing the process again taking screen grabs for the wiki?

Hi akayani,

Is it worth me remove this and doing the process again taking screen grabs for the wiki?

there is some work going on with respect to the wiki anyway - and one of the things I was planning to do is to simplify the description of getting MP2 to build in VisualStudio. Any help in that respect (in particular screenshots) are much appreciated .
But there is no need for a "tool for Visual Studio for Git" at all, if you use VS 2015 (e.g. Community edition). It has inbuilt Git-support which is just great and saves you installing any tools in that respect. So if you plan to do screenshots, it would be great if you could use VS 2015.
Thanks!

Be my pleasure to be useful for you. I'll do it tomorrow.
