Loading/creating a file causes crash on Win 11

[modularsamples]

When loading a DSP file into a Faust node HISE will instantly crash. This is on Windows 11.

Running the debugger in Visual Studio 2022 gives me:

Exception thrown at 0x00007FF818B22825 (faust.dll) in HISE Debug.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000000FFFFFFFF.

Am I doing something wrong? I thought I followed the very simple instructions in the stickied post to the letter, but it's been a long day..

EDIT: this is with a Dev build, baked fresh today..

@modularsamples did you recompile your ScriptNodes?

[modularsamples]

@Lindon Could clarify what you mean by "recompile scriptnodes", please? are you talking about the refresh icon in the Faust node?

This is happening in a new, otherwise empty project.

@modularsamples probably not what I was thinking then - if its crashing on a new project

Okay, so it seems the problem was with VS 2022.

I uninstalled 2022 and built with VS 2017 (per the original instructions) and now the Faust node behaves as expected.

The trickiest part was finding a way to install the community version of VS2017 as it isn't specifically listed on the Microsoft download page. There's a simple solution though:

1. Visit the Visual Studio Older Downloads page
2. Download the trial version of the enterprise edition
3. Run the installer
4. Close the install dialogue box (not the installer itself)

Now the community edition will be shown as an available download.

@modularsamples Have you been able to build a plugin with Faust successfully and without any problem or DAW crash?

Which version of Faust are you using?

[modularsamples]

@harris-rosendahl Yeah, the project builds and while testing has been brief (limited to Reaper), there were no crashes so far.

The latest, v2.54.9.
