Update on this: I am able to suppress the pop-up by putting <VCProjectUpgraderObjectName>NoUpgrade</VCProjectUpgraderObjectName>
inside the <PropertyGroup Label="Globals">
tags.
(see this post: Review Solution Actions: Retarget Projects - how to suppress it?)
Visual Studio still crashes trying to open the solution. So I think the pop-up is not the root of the problem.
Dear Menge team,
I wanted to build Menge in Visual Studio 2022, and found retargeting the solution to be a little different. Opening the VS2017 solution (or any older one) pops-up this retargeting prompt, and crashes Visual Studio.
Here is an image of that pop-up. It always goes to Not Responding before I can interact with it.![image](https://github.com/MengeCrowdSim/Menge/assets/56482432/b19c4f39-e8b3-4d6b-989b-5f34d3528d5e)
Without the ability to open the solution, I can't effectively look at the properties or adjust them with VS.
Despite this, I was able to build Menge in two ways: First, I went directly to all the vcxproj files (except Sample.vcxproj because it was targeting 8.1) and changed
<WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>10.0.17763.0</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>
to<WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>10.0.22621.0</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>
With this change, I was able to build and run Menge and use the samples.
Then I decided to get Windows 10 SDK, version 1809 (10.0.17763.0), which was the original target of the project files. After installing it, I was again able to build Menge (I changed all the target platform versions back to 10.0.17763.0 before doing this).
So I know it can build and run, but when I go to open the solution, I still get the same retargeting pop-up, and VS becomes unresponsive.
I'm interested if this is a Visual Studio problem or a Me problem. Can someone else try to build it on VS2022, and see if they get a crash? I will keep looking into it, and see if there's any other settings I can change to make the crash stop.
Thanks so much!
