Ivan,

Your notes are very helpful. Belongs to the Wiki :-)

Ups, my fault. I've forgot how it is with VS2003

I think another option is to launch Visual Studio from cmd line

C: \> find an vsvars32.bat
C: \> set MY_ENV_VAR=foo
C: \> devenv.exe makegdal71.sln

Then MY_ENV_VAR is available in the VS env.
