Actually, I'm using the latest release. What's new in the beta?

Perfect, that did the trick. Thanks!
I was pointing at an mspdb100.dll in a different directory. It was
complaining about version mismatch on rebuilds. This one seems to be the
correct one, and the complaining is gone.

Nothing's ever so simple ;)
