Compiling ISXEQ using VS 2008 Express?

Charisa · Post by **Charisa** » Tue Feb 09, 2010 1:46 am

Okay my turn to be the stupid one asking for help compiling ISXEQ.

I've searched and read about every forum article. I've searched through the WIKI, it seems others have been able to compile this under VS 2008 Express from some of the notes I'm seeing.

The wiki specifically states VS .NET 2002 or later (honestly not sure if the .NET designation in there is important or not compared against VS 2008 Express).

The problem i seem to run into:

MOST of the isxeq files seem to use .vcproj files which want to compile using VS C++ 2008, but there is an ISXEQ.NET portion to that solution which has a .vcproj file which seems to want VS C# 2008 to compile.

Should I have downloaded some other version of a compiler to compile this, or am I missing something really stupid?

I even went so far as to reinstall my entire OS this morning thinking somehow I had corrupted something.

Any pointers?

which seems to want VS C# 2008 to compile.

That's not for building ISXEQ.NET -- not ISXEQ.

Any pointers?

Any error message?

You should be using ISXEQ-VS2005.sln...

Sorry finally got a chance to post the question when at work so didn't have direct access to the error message I was previously getting.

I'm currently trying to reproduce it remotely however, now i can't even get back to the semi decent shape I was in.

Basically what was happening was when I opened the ISEXEQ-VS2005.sln file, (I believe thats the ISXEQ Solution file) using Visual C++ Studio 2005 (previously now it seems I've installed Visual C# 2008 which is yet another issue I'll fix), it would load most of the solution files, but one of the files indicated in that solution was ISXEQ.NET.vcproj, which it didn't like and stuck as being 'not available'.

Am I to understand from what your saying that that wasn't a necessary component and I went through all this headache for nothing? Wouldn't suprise me. :).

If thats the case I'll try recompiling again in the morning, although I was thinking that this might have been part of the problem because when I loaded isxeq into innerspace i would immediately crash but maybe had a different issue there, if so I'll post that crash report tommorrow see what I can find out.

Thanks for the response.

Okay I completed reinstalling VS C++ 2008, and tried to compile.

Looks like what I am getting is uin the solution explorer ISXEQ.NET is showing as (unavailable) as is Solution items

The actual error I get from Visual C++ 2008 is:
"ISXEQ.NET.csproj cannot be opened because its project tyep (.csproj) is not supported by the version of the application.

I gather from what you said earlier this is to be expected, is not required, and this was including for building on the .NET platform instead in which case I'm just confused and am having a generic crash issue with ISEXEQ which i will work on tommorrow.

If you can confirm that, then I'll disregard that compile and test again in the morning.
