Hi Marc,

Just so I understand, are you trying to have a separate project for the  
solution?

I have used this solution many times with VS 2005 and with applications.   
All that is required for it to work for me is to have the .pri file  
referenced in the .pro that you want to include the solution and qmake  
will put the approriate settings in the .vcproj.

For my main app .pro file I have the line:
     include(C:\Qt\4.5.1\solutions\single\src\qtsingleapplication.pri)

I can also import the .pro from the menu (using VS Integration) without  
issues, but I don't have to construct a .vcproj for the solution itself.

Again, I am not using VS 2008 (in truth, I'm trying to move away from VS)  
nor have I tried using the solution in a dll, so your mileage may vary.

I hope that is of some help.
