C1083 - Visual Studio 2015 standard headers aren't detected

[aha_1980]

@jBesserer At least you have a hint now what could be the problem...

[SGaist]

Could be something like described here.

[jBesserer]

@aha_1980 I would like to share your optimism, but I mostly don't understand anything from the answers to 'fix' this problem. As soon as we go into cmd or system32 related things I lose track of where to go and what to do because I can't conceptualize how to fix it.

[jBesserer]

@SGaist I already explored that possibility some days ago, but I have the system32 path in my system environment variables

[aha_1980]

@jBesserer So what happens if you enter reg in a Command Prompt?

Can you show us the contentes of your PATH variable? (as text please).

Sometimes windows has problems traversing the PATH if it contains an invalid directory.

[jBesserer]

@aha_1980 Here you go.

C:\Python27;C:\PCI Geomatics\Geomatica 2015\exe;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;c:\MATLAB\R2016a\bin;%USERPROFILE%.dnx\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Windows Performance Toolkit;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\

In a different vein, it is okay if Visual Studio installed 2 different versions of the 2015 redist for (x64) ? Could that also cause a conflict?

[aha_1980]

@jBesserer: Is it correct that you used the "Cross Tools" Command Prompt?

Honestly, I don't know. The only tip I can give you is to debug the vcvars.bat and maybe ask for help in a Visual Studio forum. As the reg command is available for you, it must be something else that disallows your compiler usage.

[aha_1980]

@jBesserer: I just have another idea.

On http://www.randygaul.net/2016/06/03/faster-vcvars32-bat is a description on how to speed up the vcvars32.bit.

As the essence, he describes the variables that are set by this batch file. Maybe doing it like him gives you a running Visual Studio prompt that can also be used from Creator.

@aha_1980 I used the cross tool because i'm building with the x86_amd64 compiler in Qt...So I assumed that was how to do it. I don't really know.

[aha_1980]

@jBesserer said in C1083 - Visual Studio 2015 standard headers aren't detected:

I'm confused too. if you have a 64 bit OS and want to create 64 bit apps then you don't cross compile...

I cannot help further here, don't have Windows and no MSVC. Maybe someone else can. Sorry.

[jBesserer]

@aha_1980 Thank you very much for your earnest efforts in helping. :) I'm pretty much starting to assume that this is an internal network or user properties because when I try to install it anywhere at the University (my internship location) it doesn't compile and has always the same errors, but when I install it on my personal laptop and personal desktop, it compiles perfectly.

I looked around everywhere and compared left and right, but I couldn't find an answer. I wanted to just install a VM on work computer yesterday but vt-x is disabled in the BIOS and the university's admin added a admin password to the BIOS, so i'm pretty much out of options.

[SGaist]

In that case, did you try to ask your university IT folks ?

解决办法：取消禁用注册表编辑器。
注册表编辑器禁用后，vcvarsall.bat 运行出现问题，导致编译出错。
解除禁用后正常。
