Trouble with MSVC2015

J.Hilk

I've for a while now, used mingw to generate and debug my code and MSVC2015 release compiler to deploy on Windows.

That seemed like a stupid thing to do, why not debug with MSVC too?
So I went a head, followed the steps mentioned in this thread and added the debugger to my kit.

So far so good. Sadly now my project does not compile neither in debug nor release mode.

Everything has been restarted multiple times, clean build, there are no warnings or errors in my kits. screenshot

If I remove the debugger, the release build does not compile either, so I guess WindowsSDK changed some files settings that I'm unaware of?

Here's the compile output, hopefully someone can help me out here.

sorry for the german-lines, I did change the language to english, but apparently not everything gets translated.

~~Problem solved:~~

~~maintenance tool -> uninstall MSVC-components -> Reboot -> MaintenanceTool -> install MSVC-components. + Manual delete off all non *.h/cpp files.~~

Celebrated too early....

Sometimes you have to do things yourself to make sure its done right.

First of this StackOverflow entry was very helpfull.

So I added ...\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86 to my path variable.
Windows Kit itself only linked Windows Performance Toolkit there.

and copied rc.exe and rcdll.dll from the WindowsSDK folder to VC\bin problem solved...

If a mod could change this back to Solved, I would appreciate it. I kind of messed that one up earlier today.

Change to solved on your request.
The thread was marked as discussion and had to be changed to "ask question" for setting to "solved".
