Ok followed Davids instructions and built Hise from source on Windows.
Was honestly much easier to do than on Mac even though David said otherwise in his video.
Visual Studio seems clearer than Xcode, and the fact that both SDKs are already in the git folder makes it easier as well I think.
Thank you to the big three (@d-healey , @Lindon , @ustk). I moved ahead with using JSON files instead, which is a fine work-around. I'm marking as solved. Thank you, everyone.
@Matt_SF I just looked at my docs. No NDA. I believe the pricing was quoted on the amount of products. I'm under $200/ month. Well worth it in my opinion.
yeah thats ball-park their quote to me 150E / month.
@Lindon @d-healey @Dan-Korneff@Matt_SF@DanH I did another rebuild and managed to get things saving correctly (so it seems). I messed with a few settings and properties so Im not 100% sure what it was but it's working so thats that. I appreciate all the help and input fellers!
