4073 says this is supposed to have been fixed. I'm now on 1.7.5 and still have the same issue.
I can't use a relative path cos that is not where the libray is. I need absolute because some apps (viz VS 2010) require absolute paths for library references. I have to put the libraries on the C drive so that they can be accessed by any user without them having to change the VS settings. Daft thing is, it does actually check out the external library - I just get a MS exception report. I then have to do a cleanup and on subsequent updates I don't get the exception. If this is not fixed then every user has to edit user specific VS settings whenever my project is checked out by them. The settings are then wrong for everybody else when it gets checked back in!
