MISSING: everything related to px4uploader.csproj !!!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. CLONE git repository
2. ATTEMPT to open the ArduPilotMega.sln file in Visual Studio
3. => error stating an entire project directy is MISSING!

What is the expected output? 
Entire Visual Studio solution loads & compiles into (I suppose) an installer, 
various DLLs and I suppose the Mission Planner application.

What do you see instead?
OUTPUT from Visual Studio: 
C:\Projects\pcl\Tools\px4uploader\px4uploader.csproj : error  : Unable to read 
the project file 'px4uploader.csproj'. 

C:\Projects\pcl\Tools\px4uploader\px4uploader.csproj: The project file could 
not be loaded. Could not find a part of the path 
'C:\Projects\pcl\Tools\px4uploader\px4uploader.csproj'.

What version of the product are you using? 
ArduPilot-Mega 1.2.20

On what operating system?
Windows Server 2008 (my DEV farm)

Please provide any additional information below.
1. This appears to be the only error preventing me from loading the entire 
solution; 
2. kind of hard to believe the admins of this project would upload a codebase 
they'd NOT actually validated as complete and compilable... but I'm new to this 
endeavor, and there IS lots to like...
3. Would simply like to know if I need to GET this directory (\px4uploader\) 
and its files, or if I can/should DELETE all references, and attempt to 
recompile.

RESOLVED - here are the steps:

INSTALL the ArduPilotMega application in your DEV environment via the MSI file;
LAUNCH VisualStudio2010;
OPEN the ArduPilot-Mega solution;
SELECT the ArduPilotMega project > properties > reference paths;
ADD the location of the \APM Planner\ as a reference path;
SAVE ALL
BUILD the entire solution
=> all 299+ errors should disappear quite nicely...leaving 2 remaining errors 
related to 2 files already added to The Solution, but not found:
1. dpinstallx64.exe
2. dpinstallx32.exe
These files EXIST also in the \APM Planner\ installed directory, so simply 
REMOVE the existing file references from The Solution, and 
ADD > Existing File > browse to \APM Planner\ > add the 2 above files
SAVE ALL
BUILD
=> The Solution should now build successfully. 
:-)
