I know this is the like 50th but none of the ones I have read fix my issue. I have community 2017 vs installed and I have followed every step but can't get it to compile! Please help!

You need to install VS2013 for VPC to work correctly.
You can keep using VS2017 as your frontend though, it basically just needs the compiler toolset.

Personally I've created a small package where I extracted just the compiler toolset from VS2013. So on my computer I don't even have VS2013 installed. (but I can't just link to that obviously)

see #72

i would just say additionally do a clean build. if that doesn't work, change the computer from release to debug or vice versa. I would suggest make a back up of the current project. Open the project in whatever ide, vs2017 if you are you upgrading to the new ide. Go into the file explorer delete the .vsproj file abd then do a clean build. It's just a wetting linking that Microsoft didn't address when making the new ide.

Hi! It's been a long time, but could you please somehow send me the compiler toolset, or maybe tell me how to extract it? It'd be really helpful!! [e-mail]
