VS2008 Problem Compiling

Post by Ravenjack » Wed Apr 02, 2014 10:49 pm

I'm getting 13 failed on my compiles using Visual Studio 2008. This is the first time encountering this issue and would like to know if it is a problem with the new patch and will be worked out in a day or two, or if not what should I do to get back on track. I do compile for 5 diff computers if that helps.

You can do the above workaround but as we move forward we will eventually drop support for visual studio older than vs2010. So in the longrun you are better of just upgrading to a newer version of VS. The 2013 express version is free as well so there is no good reason sticking with 2008 right now.

Also had this issue. I want to hit up EQ asap so I'll upgrade in a few days. Thanks for the solution!
