Can't compile a DLL from the Export menu without getting an error message??? Can anyone help

[GreekProgrammer]

@d-healey Its still not showing up in the hardcoded?

funny though, it has previously appeared in the ScriptFX????

[d.healey]

@GreekProgrammer Just follow my instructions :)

Create a new project, do not add anything to it, don't worry about script node, forget about RNBO. We are just trying to export the most basic HISE project possible. One step at a time.

[GreekProgrammer]

@d-healey oK!!

healytest project

[d.healey]

@GreekProgrammer Nope, you've added a waveform generator and an effect. Try again. Once you have an empty project go to Export >> Export as Standalone Application

[GreekProgrammer]

@d-healey Whoops so sorry OK here goes....

Same again!
Top man though (good idea)

[GreekProgrammer]

@d-healey
The same error occurs for the Rhapsody project too

Same again!

That's good. It means it is not a problem related to RNBO or scriptnode specifically.

Open a command prompt (cmd) and type msbuild and hit enter, tell me what happens.

@d-healey

Hello!

here is what has happened...

C:>msbuild
'msbuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

[d.healey]

@GreekProgrammer Mystery solved, you need to install msbuild - this should be available from the Visual Studio installer if I recall correctly.

@d-healey

Hi! I hope so 100% believe you are on the case!
Is there any particular version to download...I'll take a screenshot in a moment.
Thank you

[GreekProgrammer]

@GreekProgrammer

Heres the shot...

I'm not sure, I don't remember having to install it separately so I guess it was already checked along with whatever other options I selected at the time.

[GreekProgrammer]

@d-healey

I've just installed it...

[GreekProgrammer]

@GreekProgrammer

NOPE Still no joy :-(

Use the test project for now, I think you'll still hit the error

[GreekProgrammer]

@d-healey
yep still the same error!

AAAARRRGGGHHH!

I GIVE UP

What do you think it could be?

[Christoph Hart]

@GreekProgrammer either install vs2022 or set it to vs2017 in the Hise Settings. The best bet is to install Vs2022, it can live alongside other versions.

[GreekProgrammer]

@Christoph-Hart

Hi Yes I have VS 2022 installed already and its set to 2022 in HISE too...
any suggestions?

Thanks

Stick with the simple test project, the empty one. Because it's still possible there is some other scriptnode/RNBO - we need to do things one step at a time.

What happens if you open a cmd and type in msbuild?

Edit: saw it. You need to make the msbuild command accessible from anywhere. Try adding it to the path environment variables in Windows.
