In addition to Igor's reply, you can see most of these variables by
executing "SET" command (without parameters) at Visual Studio command
prompt.

Kind of strange, they are not in registry

I have "ProductDir" value under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Setup\VC

registry key: that's likely where the value of $(VCInstallDir) comes
from. Similarly, the value for $(FrameworkSDKDir) probably comes from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework
sdkInstallRootv1.1


and not in the output of "set" either...

Go to View | Other Windows | Command window. Once in the command window,
type the following line

Tools.Shell /c cmd /c set

This executes "set" command from inside Visual Stuio, so you see the
same environment variables the IDE sees.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
