I have a VS 2008 project file with a relative path set to something like "..other$(Configuration)j.cpp" and when I convert it to VS 2010 it does not allow for the custom build rule to be edited in debug or relase configuration (one will be blank).
This seems to be a known issue but I dont seem to have found any solutions to get around this issue.
Here are some links that all reference the issue in one way or another:
