XML .scp and IE5
The SCP program uses XML syntax when writing the project files. Although they have and need the extension .scp to be picked up by the SCP program, they can, if given an .xml extension instead, be viewed with XML processing software. This capability is now available in Internet Explorer release 5. So if you copy an .scp file and give the copy an extension of .xml you can view it as a tree structure in Internet Explorer Release 5. To do that you use the File/Open/Browse All Files in Explorer 5 and look for .xml extensions. Similarly the scp.dat file, if say, copied to scp.xml can be viewed in IE5 in a similar way.

FIX for MSVCR100.dll
When you install SCP you may find that an error occurs indicating that the application cannot find MSVCR100.dll and asks you to reinstall it.


There is a Microsoft fix for this issue. Download and execute the program vcredist_x86.exe from the following link.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db84&displaylang=en

It is 4.83MB in size.

For the record, vcredist_x86.exe, is a Microsoft written program that installs some 're-distributable software' that is needed by programs compiled using Microsoft's 2010 C++ compiler.
