LLVM Tab - Add Existing Version "LLVM Version Cannot be Detected"

[Bluesman74]

1st Please Add the ability to provide a path SHBrowseForFolder can do this, its a pain to have to navigate manually each time rather than providing a path.

With Visual Studio 2019 the current version comes with an upgrade to LLVM 12.00, but when I provided C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\Llvm\bin as the path I got the message "LLVM Version cannot be detected"

Where is the correct location to use for Clang Power Tools to accept the LLVM install that comes with Visual Studio?

Hello @Bluesman74,

Thank you for your suggestion regarding the path. We'll add the option in a future version. #983

There were no requests to use the LLVM provided by Visual Studio until now. It's a little bit different from the one installed from an LLVMs website, so there might be issues.

1. It doesn't have an uninstall.exe, so it needs to be treated as a special case
2. If Visual Studio and Clang Power Tools were to use the same LLVM resource at the same time, you may have errors because it may become locked.

There is a new issue for this suggestion #984. I need to investigate a little more the second point.

Hi @Bluesman74,

We have an option for adding existing LLVM. Update Clang Power Tools to latest version 2023.6.0

Kind regards, Marina
