for now use the "generateStub.bat" that is there especially for cases like this

Well, I have the same problem, under XP. When I run the file:
The system cannot execute the specified program.
Press any key to continue . . .

I receive the same error, when trying to build the source (using Microsoft 
Visual C++
2008 Express Edition)

Ok, thanks. I didn't see the generateStub.bat file since I wasn't looking into 
the
bwapi3 directory. I intend to use the bwapi v2 since that is the one that is 
going to
be used in the competition (I hope the svn version will be allowed or is only 
the one
in the downloadable beta package accepted?).

generateStub.bat works for both bwapi versions, but to evade any further 
confusion, 
I copied it into the bwapi folder. (r2106)

I started "generateStub.bat" in bwapi folder, but i still receive error 
"Project :
error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Pre-Build 
Event...",
when building it.

hmm the .exe was executed instead of the .bat in the pre-built events. fixed 
that. 
now the "quickfix" solution generateStub.bat should work (r2107).

OK, now it builds with no errors, but i don't know exactli, which files to 
replace.
I replaced BWAPI.lib and Util.lib in my ExampleAiModile \lib folder with the new
versions. Then i recompiled my AI module  (ExampleAiModule), but when i start 
the
game, it uses the old BWAPI (I checked it, by modifying one of the SendText 
messages
at the start of the game, but the changes don't apply).
Do i need to copy also BWAPI.dll into ChaosLauncher folder? 
After the build i don't see such .dll file. in ChaosLauncherInjector there are:
DLLMain.obj, 
vc90.idb, 
BWAPI_ChaosLauncherInjector.bwl.intermediate.manifest, 
mt.dep

The BWAPI.dll file as well as the ChaosLauncher file must go into the 
ChaosLauncher
directory. The Visual Studio Project for BWAPI.dll from svn looks for the 
environment
variable "ChaosDir" and places the compiled dll file there.

The ExampleAIModule project has to be compiled separately and that stuff then 
goes
into the bwapi-data subdirecty of the starcraft installation.

I am currently working on a CMake build script that will take care of all this 
stuff
and allows one to create nmake makefiles, Visual Studio project files or Eclipse
Projects files that use the Visual C++ compiler. I do this because I prefer 
Eclipse
over Visual Studio for development (it includes a handy source code formatter 
and far
better syntax highlighting).

Ok, I set the ChaosDir environment variable, BWAPI build is done and 2 new files
appear in the chaoslauncher folder.
Then i copy bwapi.lib and util. lib to the lib folder of my ExampeAIModule, then
recompile it, and copy ExampleAiModule.dll to bwapi-data/AI.
But when I start a game, Starcraft crashes right after the start. When I delete
ExampleAiModule.dll, the game doesn't crash, and says cannot load the AI Module 
(as
expected, because I deleted it). I tried with BWSAL, but it crashes too. 
If I use the older BWAPI release with the same ExampleAIModule, it works.

Same for mee. If i don't use BWTA or BWSAL libraries it works. I think if you 
compile
your own BWAPI.dll you also have to compile BWTA and BWSAL with the modified 
version.

Yes, the problem is in BWTA, and exactly in BWTA::readMap() function
Without it the game doesn't crash, but there is no map analysis.

I tried to compile my own BWTA with boost 1.40 and CGAL 3.5.1 but that fails 
because
of compilation errors.

This is a problem with SubWCRev.exe which is developed by TortoiseSVN, not 
BWAPI. If
it still doesn't work you can report the problem to TortoiseSVN. New versions of
BWAPI Beta, BWTA, and BWSAL have been released which fix the other problems.
