VS2010 shell macro editor

Hi,

In order to do some tests with version 2011.12.369 of Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE Edition. I have installted the version including the Visual Studio shell on a virtual machine. I am surprised that the macro editor is not available (no menu shortcuts and keyboard shortcuts ALT+F11 or ALT+F8 are not functionning). It is normal ? I use macros in order to perfom some tasks before than the build starts and I cannot do these basic tasks anymore so the build fails. Any solution ? (N.B: I don't want to by the complete version of Visual Studio as I use it only in association with the Intel Fortran Compiler XE).

Best regards,

Phil.

Visual Studio Shell does not contain macro support. Try to use "prebuild" option of your project and do your stuff from *.bat file called in prebuild step. If you are modifying your source code you should use something like PERL to parse your files. I use this method.
