Charrua Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 First, hi I'm new here, i;m a technician in electronics and my focus is to use 3d for electronics projects/interfaces. my first trouble (sincerely not the first but the first big one!) isn't related with leadwerks, instead is about the SDK i installed the Visual Studio 2013 which includes sdk and in my first run (build) i got: warning MSB8003: Could not find WindowsSDKDir variable from the registry.... and many errors following.... does someone has a solution for that? I'm running a W7 in a qosmio i5 64bit machine the problem is a registry variable related with the skd version (which is 7.1A) thank's in advance (and sorry for my bad english) Juan Quote Paren el mundo!, me quiero bajar.

AggrorJorn Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Are you talking about this SDK? http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40758 Because you do not need this to work with Leadwerks.Visual studio express 2013 is more than enough.

Charrua Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 i should have said: Visual Studio express 2013, that's the one i had installed. as the error mesage talk about sdk i looked to find it and install it, but i realised that VS express 2013 inludes the sdk. i look in program files and it is, the thing is that in the registry there are no WindowsSDKDir variable, i don't know why! Does some one can look for that variable and tell me the underneath structure? there are threads about the same issue with many different earlier versions of VS, but i couldn't find a solution.

Roland Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm not sure what the problem actually is. What you need is VisualStudio 2013 Express Desktop and nothing more. Create a C++ project in project manager. Then in the project folder you created you will find a Visual Studio solution file in Project/Windows (projectname.sln) Open that one and compile. Should work. If that doesn't work show some screenshot or list of the error you get. Quote AV MX Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charrua Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 it is supposed to be this way... i started LE, create a new c++ project, open the projects\windows folder and double click on the .sln file once VSE2013 open the solution, i open the app.cpp file and press the "green play button", then the warning MSB8003 appear i found that the same error is reported by other vs users: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/762015/include-and-libraries-directories-not-setup-correctly-for-c-if-vs2010-already-installed http://helgeklein.com/blog/2010/01/visual-studio-fixing-broken-windowssdkdir-variable/ http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/7c1c1d23-afd4-485d-aaec-ca82c078654d/problem-with-the-windowssdkdir-after-installing-vs2013?forum=vssetup it is just a bad variable setting/update when installing one version while other is present (i have 2010 already installed when i install 2013) does some one know how to uninstall both and do a clean up, so when i intall VSE 2013 the installation did not found any previous traces of an old version? thxs Quote Paren el mundo!, me quiero bajar.

AggrorJorn Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Have you tried this suggestion?: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\WindowsSdkVer.exe” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charrua Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 look for this app, but not found Quote Paren el mundo!, me quiero bajar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charrua Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Solved! Ok, first problem: ME. when install vs express 2013, some warnings appear at the end. Telling me to solve this issues... which i ignore... the messages say: A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority. looking how to solve this i found: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2746268 and ending runing: KB931125, and finally doing a Repair installation (control panel -> uninstall program) ha, never thought that a free camera showing me a couple of boxes would make me so happy! then, bye until i do my next step, in which for sure, i will do another error... thanks for the ones that try to help. best regards Juan Quote Paren el mundo!, me quiero bajar.

Charrua Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 it's always nice to see some familiar faces (even ours...) doing my first steps on c++, lua and leadwerks, trying to figure out the whole thing, overwhelming at first as always with new environments. just got to send and receive data via serial port, a functionality i need for a project which perhaps is my first work with this engine. For a beginner in cpp, got to make work a code i found somewhere is very motivating (with some modifications about which .h files to include and some syntactic differences naturally).
