I've downloaded and installed the latest recompiled versions of the supplied code from promrds.com, and unfortunately none of the samples are working.

Error 2 Unable to create directory "C:\Users\trevtay\Microsoft Robotics Dev Studio 2008\bin\". Access to the path 'C:\Users\trevtay\Microsoft Robotics Dev Studio 2008\bin\' is denied. CCRExamples

this is the error that all of them show.
I have tried going into the properties of the project and changing the directory to my user instead of trevtay, and have had no luck.

It appears that DssProjectMigration has not been run on your code samples. Please do the following:

Open a DSS Command Prompt.
Change directory to the ProMRDS folder.
There should be a batch file called setup.cmd in there. You need to run this.
