Unable to bind projects with Vsip2005

Vault server version: 4.0.4.15848
Vault client version: 4.0.4 (15848)

The documentation mentioned that we can bind to either a project or a solution.

I have a solution and some of the projects within the solution are class libraries and is shared by other solutions.

Based on the senario below, how can I create/bind to the desired vault structure shown below.

Solution1
---ConsoleApp1
---ClassLibrary1
---ClassLibrary2
---ClassLibrary3

Solution2
---ConsoleApp2
---ClassLibrary2
---ClassLibrary3

Desired Vault Structure

$
ClassLibrary1
ClassLibrary2
ClassLibrary3
Solution1
Solution2

Vault seems to be enforcing it to the following directory structure which is bad because of duplication. I don't really what to share/link those folders either. We were able to bind to the structure above using the 2003 Vault client before.

$
Solution1
---ClassLibrary1
---ClassLibrary2
---ClassLibrary3
Solution2
---ClassLibrary2
---ClassLibrary3

Please advise

Just spoke to a vault support person and she suggested 2 ways

1) Create shares or links

2) Open, save and add to vault individual library projects. These projects will have it's own solution file. For the application solution, you will need to remove and re-add the library projects.

I did some more checking into this and there are some issues with the VS 2005 client handling projects that are not under the solution. You may find it beneficial to stay with the VS 2003 compatible client.
