Default Following Martin's How to Blog - gitÉ?

What does this mean?

"Once you've put the SDK files in place, you should discard changes in these two files via gitÉ"

It is from the C:\wdl-ol\VST3_SDK

I tried to build, the first page example on the blog and I'm getting this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Pla tforms\Win32\PlatformToolsets\v141_xp\Toolset.targ ets(36,5): warning MSB8003: Could not find WindowsSdkDir_71A variable from the registry. TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number.

There might be a problem with the installation of Visual Studio 2017. Although I like VS 2017, I think it is a little harder to setup properly than previous versions.

Right-click on the project file in the Solutions Explorer (e.g., myplugin-VST) and check the platform toolset. You might need to change this to V141. The dropdown should also show if you have the toolset installed.

You could also try IPlug-Youlean in place of WDL-OL. I can't remember if Oli has updated everything for VS 2017, but I am pretty sure that Youlean's examples are setup for VS 2017.

If I do v1.41 this is what I get, just a small sampling of the errors

According to the JUCE forum, a lot of those missing files come up as being a problem with the newest vst sdk

Right-click on the project again and find out what the 'Windows SDK Version' is. Then look under C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits. Under the correct 'Include' folder should be a folder called 'um'. Make sure the windows.h file is there.

If it is not there, I think you need to launch the VS installer and add the SDK. Look under "Individual Components" in the installer. Under "SDKs, libraries, and frameworks" are the Windows 10 or 8.1 SDK. I am using 8.1 and it is working with that as the SDK version for each project.

I know I had these same issue when switching to VS 2017. I wish I would have documented what I did. I think it is an issue with the installer and correctly selecting the right SDK. I hope that does the trick.
