Can not Export: The system cannot find the file specified
-
@Dlukas7 Can you make a video of trying export Lindon's example? So we can see what happens.
-
@d-healey I ll try, but I need to find a program for recording screen 1st, so it will take some time
-
-
@d-healey I can not show you the video cause It doesnt show any windows and my PC is having some audio problem so I can not even see if it works on other platforms cause it doesnt allow me to watch anything (I guess due to this hise setup...I can not even run YT)
-
@d-healey thats all that happens
-
@d-healey Am I the 1st one with this problem? :D Because I dont know what to do now... I need to have this plugin done in like a week and I still can not even export it...
-
@Dlukas7 Does the same thing happen when you try to export a VST?
-
@d-healey yep
-
Did you open or create a HISE project before you pasted the snippet? You need to do this so HISE has the correct folder structure to put all the files.
-
What happens if you open cmd.exe and put
msbuildin there? My guess is that you haven't installed VS2017 correctly because that error message tries to find the command line compiler that should be included with a proper install. -
@Christoph-Hart He built HISE from source earlier so VS must be installed correctly, no?
-
@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. -
@Dlukas7 said in Can not Export: The system cannot find the file specified:
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 ;)
