Visual Studio Community 2015 (MSVC++ 2015 v140) Support

Open s-e opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Hey Jorge,

In Windows 10 and specifically VS15, Microsoft have made the decision to drop support for the Windows 7.1 SDK and .NET pre-4.5. Sadly this means that working with VS 2010 is very probably not an option (or at least a huge barrier) for people just coming on to the Youtube series and trying to work with Win 10 and VS2015. This goes double if they don't have a lot of experience wrangling compatibility issues or the desire to side-by-side with VS 2010 (this is potentially fraught with compatibility issues too as the .NET 4 installer makes sad noises and is actually blocked via registry checks). Any chance of build support for VS 2015 at any point? Or at least a workaround guide for potential issues? I would be happy to assist as a tester for this (but my VS experience is limited so I may need a little handholding) Thanks!

I'd like to, but even if I move the head to VS2015 none of the previous tags will be fixed. It was a bad decision on my part to make the code as reliant on 2010 as it is. I'll try to update the head to 2015 at some point but I'm not sure what I can do about the older tags.
