@David-Healey they're making more and more of these budget computers these days. They basically have a camera flash drive soldered in as the hard drive. I'm not sure how that's even usable, because there is only about 25gb left after windows. It's almost laughable!

@David-Healey now I'm getting a no space left on device warning... I knew it was low but dang. So it looks like I'm going to need a different computer. This one has a tiny hard drive (60gb) and there was only about 25gb left when I borrowed it. So, back to the drawing board.

Thanks again for all the help.

@David-Healey I think that was step one in your video. I know I did it, but don't see Git in my programs. Like I said, I'm a total newbie to windows.

@David-Healey git hub makes me feel like the Cave Man Lawyer "these menus confuse and frighten me. I'm just a simple cave man". LOL!!

So I think I just grab a new git code and paste that in somewhere right?

@David-Healey I'm not sure where to find that again. It was the most recent a few days ago.

@David-Healey here's some red ones. It failed.

@David-Healey I changed it to v143 like you said, but now get a hole huge list of errors.

@David-Healey

@David-Healey 2022 was wanting me to install the v145, which I didn't have in my installer. So I'm kinda stuck right now.

@David-Healey yes, I'm getting the same error after doing clean solution & clean HISE standalone app.

@David-Healey There's no option to install that from the 2022 installer, only up to v143. Do I need to download the 2025 version to get the v145?

@David-Healey one step forward, one step back. lol.

Downloading 2022 was a success, but when I did the debug with faust it gave me this warning.

The build tools for v145 (Platform Toolset = 'v145') cannot be found. To build using the v145 build tools, please install v145 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".

@David-Healey it said I needed a subscription, but it's free (I hope anyways, I didn't put a card in or anything.

It did let me download the Pro Version. So looks like I'm good to go.

@David-Healey I'm just getting started with this, I did have some dreams of making an impulse response of the acoustics in my yard. But that's down the road a bit and can wait until I upgrade this computer. I'll be doing all the design and heavy lifting on my mac. I only have the Windows machine to export for windows users.

I have yet another question. Which download from the 2022 visual studio do I need. There's a whole list of them.

Professional
Enterprise
Agents for VS 2022
Build tools for VS
Remote tools
Visual c++ restributable for vs
intellitrace standalone collector.

And thank you again. Your tutorials were so helpful. It would have taken me ages longer without them. I have one suggestion, maybe on the windows build tutorial add the link to the Visual Studio 2022, the current one takes you to the 2025 one. But, that's just like my opinion, man.

You rock!

@David-Healey can I install IPP on a different drive other than the C: drive?

@David-Healey thank you so much for the super fast reply! I will uninstall 2025 and use the 2022.

OK that's what I thought about doing it from a mac.But I'd still have to install Virtual Studio.

So, I'll stick with doing it on this borrowed windows laptop. LOL

How do I install 2022? It only downloads the 2025 version.

I'm trying to compile HISE on Windows. But, when I open Visual studio from Projucer I get a warning saying "some projects are missing components or targeting outdated toolsets. review and resolve the listed issues. Hise Standalone_APP - platform toolset (v143), MSVC build tools for x64/x86 (v14.44) select an action to resolve the missing dependancy. ignore - retarget all for latest (v145)"

I've tried to retarget all and I've tried to ignore, but I still get the same errors when I run my debug with faust build. Here are the errors I get.

C2660 Errors
'scriptnode::NodeProperty::initialise': function does not take 1 arguments 'scriptnode::ComboBoxWithModeProperty::initModes': function does not take 2 arguments 'scriptnode::ComboBoxWithModeProperty::initModes': function does not take 2 arguments

When I installed visual studio I selected the parts that David said to install. After I installed and got the errors I went back and installed the v143 component.

I installed the FFTW not IPP (ran out of hard drive space). So I selected those options in Projucer. I'm on windows 11....

I'm new to HISE and new to Windows. I was able to get HISE and build a working sample instrument on Mac no problem. But visual studio is giving me some grief.

Is it possible to build/compile a windows VST3 from my mac? If not, any help getting HISE running on my windows machine would be stellar.

Thank you!
