For anyone curious - it looks like you can get around this by linking the expected path to wherever you have Visual Studio installed

mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Enterprise"

@David-Healey Thanks but I think this guide only covers how to use the Projucer UI to enable IPP.

Can you do this with the scripts provided with HISE like ./tools/auto_build/build_ci.bat ?

I was able to build HISE without IPP but now I get this error:

error C1189: #error:  "this should not be defined before this so if this error appears, remove USE_IPP from your preprocessor definitions...

Is it possible to dynamically set the location of MsBuild when exporting a HISE plugin?

I think the below path is hardcoded - so if you have Enterprise or Professional versions installed then the plugin build will fail. (GitHub Action runners for example come with Enterprise Edition pre-installed).

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MsBuild.exe

I also see some conflicting docs about always using Visual Studio 2017 or 2022 but it looks like VS Community 2026 is working.

@David-Healey Okay, that makes sense. I was trying to build with IPP but I don't see anything for IPP in the build steps in the auto_build folder. What else do I need to build with IPP after installing and updating the standalone projucer project?

My Hise Standalone.jucer file has this:

    <VS2026 targetFolder="Builds/VisualStudio2026" smallIcon="ho3qQy" bigIcon="ho3qQy"
            useIPP="Sequential" IPPLibrary="" extraDefs="HISE_SCRIPT_SERVER_TIMEOUT=20000&#10;HISE_USE_VS2022=0&#10;PERFETTO=0&#10;HISE_INCLUDE_PROFILING_TOOLKIT=1"
            extraCompilerFlags="/bigobj  /cgthreads8 /wd&quot;4100&quot; /wd&quot;4661&quot; /wd&quot;4456&quot; /wd&quot;4244&quot; /wd&quot;4457&quot; /wd&quot;4458&quot; /wd&quot;4127&quot; /vmg&#10; "
            IPP1ALibrary="Static_Library">

I've been struggling with getting my HISE plugin to build on Windows. I've tried installing IPP a few different ways but keep getting the same error. Anyone seen this problem before and know of a fix?

ERROR: IPP setting mismatch
You cannot compile a plugin with IPP if you have not compiled HISE with IPP.  
> Turn off the `UseIpp` setting in the Compiler settings of HISE and retry.ERROR: Export Error

For the record I'm building HISE in an automated workflow on GitHub Actions - so any changes I need to make to Projucer / HISE config will be through scripts and not through the UI
