New VS 2017 installation video?

Post by CalebADB » September 14th, 2018, 1:48 pm

I'm re-downloading VS on my new computer most of the modules in individual components are not there or where chili says they are. I'm having some issues because it appears that a lot of the files I had on my previous computer were not downloaded in the installation of VS. I followed the previous steps I took to download VS 2017 on my old computer. Yet, I'm getting errors like:

cannot open source file "assert.h"
cannot open source file "errno.h"
cannot open source file "float.h"
cannot open source file "corecrt.h"
cannot open source file "stddef.h"
cannot open source file "stdio.h"
(among 20+ others)

If I right-click and choose the "Open document" on the line with the error, I get the message: File '_______.h' not found in current source file's directory or in build system path

However, if I go to my include paths, I can find files like:

cassert.h
cerrno.h
ostream.h
string.h

This is a great community and though I'm new to the forum, it would be a shame if people were pushed away simply due to an inability to download the needed IDE. Does a new video need to be made? What's the process?

Thank you,
CalebADB

Does retarget solution doesn`t solve the issue?

Seems like it might be a retargetting issue, either that or C++ itself wasn't installed as part of the visual studio installation.

I've been considering making an update to the installation video, it's been over a year now and it seems that the process has changed somewhat.
