I'm afraid I cannot support VS 2015. Knowing what I know about this project, I don't think you'd get very far if the templates even worked, as it relies on language features and .NET versions that aren't available in that version of VS.

That said, I'll be happy to keep the issue open for a bit to answer any questions you might have.

So is it Visual Studio 2017 only?

I have not tested with VS 2015, but I also did not hamper my efforts by making sure that the project would be backward compatible with VS 2015. Everything I did was with the intention of supporting only the latest and greatest version of VS 2017.

fredplunkett commented 6 years ago

Understood.  No problem with that choice.  But might I suggest you change the hspi.readdocs.io pages to note that VS2015 is not supported?  Thanks for all the effort you've put into this!On August 24, 2018 at 10:55 AM Alex Dresko notifications@github.com wrote: I have not tested with VS 2015, but I also did not hamper my efforts by making sure that the project would be backward compatible with VS 2015.

Getting the same error with a fresh install of Visual Studio 2017.

alexdresko commented 6 years ago

Well now, that certainly changes things. I'll try to look into it soon, but can't make any promises. If you're in a hurry, you might try cloning this repository and trying to get the solution to compile. If it does compile, the "*.DEV" projects are essentially the same as what the template produce.

If it does not compile, it might be that you're missing certain optional VS features. And it could be that feature difference that is preventing your computer from using the templates in the first place. Typically, VS will let you know what features you're missing so you can install them as required. Would be interested to know if that helps resolve the problem.

And if you go this route, please make sure to document the changes you make to your VS installation for reference.

fredplunkett commented 6 years ago

It also gives that error message if you just try to download it manually from the link on the docs webpage, NOT from within VS, so it might not be related to Visual Studio. Being a total noob to Visual Studio, I'll have to wait [patiently] for you to get a chance to look at it. Thanks!

Oh, wow. I get it now. Sorry. So totally sorry. Feeling dense, but I understand the problem. In fact, I've already got a fix in the pipeline. Just waiting for it to be reviewed and merged. Then I'll update the extension on the marketplace.

Sure wish I knew how long this had been going on.. :)

alexdresko commented 6 years ago

The download is fixed, by the way.
