GeoPhyloBuilder for ArcGIS 10

The labs here at the Silwood Park campus of Imperial College are still running ArcGIS 9.3, but with our recent license renewal I finally decided it was time for me to personally upgrade to v10 and recompile GeoPhyloBuilder.

Following the instructions from ESRI upgrading turned out to be pretty straight-forward. I just had to remove and re-add the ESRI.ArcGIS references (they are now in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.0\DotNet\), change the platform CPU target and change runtime binding from using the ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.IAoInitialize class to the code generated by the ArcGIS License Initializer wizard. Amazingly it all worked.

The new version can be downloaded from SourceForge, I just need to work out how to make it the default download from the project page and sort the ssh key problem out that is preventing posting the code to the repository.
