It is not professional approach. No body will store files from obj folder in VCS to hold/make splash screen workable. Also Team Foundation Server do not allow store files from bin or obj folders in the Version Control repository.

I think MS require find another one way how to do make Splash screen.

Sorry about so strong meaning.

I'm not sure if it will help with your VCS issues though.
