Can not Export: The system cannot find the file specified
-
@d-healey So what should I do? :D
I start to feel kinda desperate :D -
well, maybe he didn't install
msbuild
. The VS installer procedure is a bit flaky so I have seen weirder things happen. -

So what should I do?
Ctrl+R, then type in cmd, then
msbuild
. If it shows a error message ("this path can't be found"), then something went wrong with your VS install. -
@Christoph-Hart where ctrl + r? (sorry, I am really new to coding and those things)
-
In Windows :) It opens the Run command window that you can use to execute stuff.
-
@Christoph-Hart doesnt work for me, isnt typing cmd enough or is that another kind of this thing?
-
Try something else. HISE looks for msbuild at this location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MsBuild.exe\
Please check if you have that directory and if the file exists there. If not, please make sure that you've ticked the msbuild box in the VS installer.
-
@Christoph-Hart I have, the only thing is that its in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
don't know if it makes difference so I ll just let you know -
Lol why do you have VS Professional? You need the Community Edition ;)
-
@Christoph-Hart You ve got to be kidding me... :DDD
-
@Christoph-Hart can you please give me a link to that version please? (and I guess I must uninstall vs I have right now?) :D
-
Actually we should get this to work without reinstalling VS2017.you've come so far, it would be unfair :)
So let's start with the most stupid solution, maybe we get off this one the most laziest way. Just go into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\
where you should have aProfessional
folder. Now just duplicate it and rename it toCommunity
, then retry the export process. However it is extremely important that you tell no one I actually gave that advice :) -
@Christoph-Hart Why? :DD Will my pc start burning? :DDD
-
@Christoph-Hart Ok I did it but I still have the same problem
-
@Christoph-Hart
ok, so I did reinstal the VS 2017 Professional to the Community version, but I still can not export. Is there anything else I could do? (I have like a week for the whole plugin to be made, so I really need it done) thanks
