VS 2026

[DanH]

Just setting up new PC and currently have been guided towards VS Community 2026. Any reason not to install this one? Or are we VS 2022 only?

[DanH]

@DanH worked fine

[DanH]

@DanH Seems like Hise might need some updating for export as still looking for VS 2022 / 17 in the Export setup. Testing

[DanH]

@DanH Managed to export a standalone using the AutoGen projucer file rather than in Hise itself.

[DanH]

@DanH Only snag is IPP (isn't it always!)....

When installing the Standalone OneApi IPP installer it said it couldn't find an IDE even though VS 2026 was installed and working. Spo that's odd - perhaps the OneAPI installers need updating.

And HISE says it hasn't been built with IPP when I try to export with it checked so it's obviusly not finding the library.

@David-Healey Did you make a VS 2026 with IPP video? Or am I imagining things?

Yep, check the latest bootcamp videos. It works exactly the same as with VS22 since IPP was updated last month.

@David-Healey Thanks, trying to build and the standalone projucer files only lists XCode (maxOS) and Linux Makefile as exporter options. Any ideas why VS doesn't appear? I only have VS 2026 installed

[David Healey]

@DanH are you using the latest develop branch with the sub module?

[DanH]

@David-Healey yup, followed your instructions and link via Git

I have an older version of Hise on the pc that does include VS 2022 as an exporter. Just not this new one

Also it's the same on OSX I just never noticed. Maybe been omitted by error @Christoph-Hart ?

Faust options also missing on Windows

[DanH]

@David-Healey just trying to export an plugin from Hise but I don't think it can find VS - even when I had 2022 installed. The wizard says ms build not installed...

[David Healey]

@DanH The wizard doesn't work so don't use it

[dannytaurus]

@DanH Possibly not related but I had to add MSBuild to PATH because HISE doesn't detect it properly for VS2026.

Just not this new one

It's there in the develop branch: https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/blob/develop/projects/standalone/HISE Standalone.jucer#L102

[DanH]

@dannytaurus where exactly?

[DanH]

@David-Healey well it aint here

Open the file in a text editor, do you see it there? If not you have a different file.

[DanH]

@David-Healey

<VS2026 targetFolder="Builds/VisualStudio2026"

So I dunno....

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH you‘re using an outdated projucer build - it can‘t parse the vs2026 config. Make sure you use the latest one from the repo

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart where is it? I thought it was in tools/projucer ?

Oh readme lol

Still can't find it!

Found it
