3.	Add the following path to the Directories area for Executable files: <Install Drive>\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server
4.	Add the following path to the Directories area for Library files: <Install Drive>\Program Files\Microsoft XML Parser SDK\lib
5.	Implement the following changes to the \Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\SDK\Messaging Samples\CustomPreProcessor\CustomPreProcessor.dsw workspace: a. Change the properties of all files in the folder so that they are not read-only. b. Open the CustomPreProcessor.dsw workspace. c. Change line 32 of file PreProcessor.cpp to #include <Msxml2.h>. d. On the Project menu, click Settings. The Project Settings dialog box appears. e. Click the Link tab and add Msxml2.lib to the list of libraries in the Object/library modules area.
6.	Implement the following changes to the \Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\SDK\Messaging Samples\BTSAppIntegration\VC\ATL\AtlBTSComp.dsw workspace: a. Change the properties of all files in the folder so that they are not read-only. b. Open the AtlBTSComp.dsw workspace. c. Change line 6 of file BTSComp.cpp to #include <Msxml2.h>. d. On the Project menu, click Settings. The Project Settings dialog box appears. e. Click the Link tab and add Msxml2.lib to the list of libraries in the Object/library modules area.
7.	In the \Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\SDK\Xlang Samples\Loop\LoopControl\LoopControl.dsw workspace, change the properties of all files in the folder so that they are not read-only.
