Gathers the list of installed SDKS in the registry and on disk and outputs them into the project so they can be used during SDK reference resolution and RAR for single files. GetInstalledSDKLocations doesn't recognize a version folder if "v" appears in its name. For example, an SDK that's located at C:\Windows\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\8.0\SDKFolders\3rdPartySDK\2.5\will be located correctly. However, the same SDK located atC:\Windows\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\8.0\SDKFolders\3rdPartySDK\v2.5\won't be located and will be ignored. If an SDK is ignored, the failure won't be recorded in the log, and no error will be thrown. Version folder names need to be formed as major.minor[.build[.revision]]. For more information, see . To find an SDK with a particular version, the version sought must match the version requested. For example, if the SDK has a folder version name 8.0.0 and the customer requested the SDK with version 8.0, there is no match, and the SDK won't be found. For more information on version matching, see .

Pointer to an instance of the interface described by this type description. Identifies the interface member. Flags describing the context of the invoke call, as follows: DISPATCH_METHOD if the member is accessed as a method. If there is ambiguity, both this and the DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET flag can be set. DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET if the member is retrieved as a property or data member. DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT if the member is changed as a property or data member. DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF if the member is changed by using a reference assignment, rather than a value assignment. This value is only valid when the property accepts a reference to an object. Points to a structure that contains an array of arguments, an array of DISPIDs for named arguments, and counts of the number of elements in each array. Should be Null if the caller does not expect any result. Otherwise, it should be a pointer to the location at which the result is to be stored. If wFlags specifies DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT or DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF, pVarResultis ignored. Points to an exception information structure, which is filled in only if DISP_E_EXCEPTION is returned. If pExcepInfois Null on input, only an HRESULT error will be returned. If Invoke returns DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH, puArgErr indicates the index (within rgvarg) of the argument with incorrect type. If more than one argument returns an error, puArgErr indicates only the first argument with an error. Arguments in pDispParams->rgvarg appear in reverse order, so the first argument is the one having the highest index in the array. Cannot be Null.

Gets or sets a value that determines how dependencies are determined, and whether or not a dependency is copied locally.

if, when determining if a dependency should be copied locally, one of the checks done is to see if the parent reference in the project file has the Private metadata set. If that metadata is set, we will use that for the dependency as well. If the metadata is not set then the dependency will go through the same checks as the parent reference. One of these checks is to see if the reference is in the GAC. If a reference is in the GAC then we will not copy it locally as it is assumed it will be in the gac on the target machine as well. However this only applies to that specific reference and not its dependencies. This means a reference in the project file may be copy local false due to it being in the GAC but the dependencies may still be copied locally because they are not in the GAC. This is the default behavior for RAR and causes the default value for this property to be true. Returns if we will still check project file references to see if they are in the GAC and set their copy local state as appropriate. However for dependencies we will not only check to see if they are in the GAC but we will also check to see if the parent reference from the project file is in the GAC. If the parent reference from the project file is in the GAC then we will not copy the dependency locally. If there are multiple parent reference and ANY of them does not come from the GAC then we will set copy local to true.
