Windows Installation

[luhar]

I am trying to install on Windows 10 w/ Visual Studio 2017. Is this compatible with VS 2017 or should I try with VS 2010? The following is my output w/in the Developer Command Prompt:

Hi,

I have reproduced this issue and am looking into it. In the meantime, we haven't tested this project using VS20017 and definitely recommend trying libmaxminddb instead.

I will try to get back to you early next week with more thoughts.

I am having troubles with libmaxminddb and have opened an issue there.

[luhar]

Any update?

[nchelluri]

Hi, no updates as yet; we have the similar libmaxminddb issue in our issue tracker and that is more likely to get fixed more quickly. If you wish to take a crack at it yourself and file a PR we will be happy to take a look at it.

return code '0xc0000135'

This usually means The application failed to start (or some other MS vague reasoning). What if you try to run under the debugger?. E.g. c:\xx\GeoIP-API-C\test> cdb benchmark.

PS. I'm getting these results:
