How to compile a build with VS2019 in Windows 10/11?

[nykevinwong]

Hi Umaranis, I am currently using MindMate v0.7, but version 0.7 does not support Unicode file for reading/writing Chinese/non-English language, which is fixed by you around 2022.

I tried to create a latest build via Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 11, but unfortunately I am getting below error after nuget restore process. I don't have Windows 7 SDK for UICC.exe and Visual 2017. how can I make it compatible with VS2019 & Windows 11? can you release a new portable build based on the latest code ?

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\UICC.exe" "C:\DEV\production\MindMate\MindMate.Win7\View\Ribbon\RibbonMarkup.xml" "C:\DEV\production\MindMate\MindMate.Win7\View\Ribbon\RibbonMarkup.bml" /res:"C:\DEV\production\MindMate\MindMate.Win7\View\Ribbon\RibbonMarkup.rc"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\rc.exe" /v "C:\DEV\production\MindMate\MindMate.Win7\View\Ribbon\RibbonMarkup.rc"

cmd /c "("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat") && ("link.exe" /VERBOSE /NOENTRY /DLL /OUT:"C:\DEV\production\MindMate\MindMate.Win7\View\Ribbon\RibbonMarkup.ribbon" "C:\DEV\production\MindMate\MindMate.Win7\View\Ribbon\RibbonMarkup.res")"" exited with code 1. MindMate.Win7

Thanks, Kevin

pathname change can solved the above issue. the build can now be successfully built.

change "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat"" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat"

@nykevinwong happy that you were able to build it yourself.

I will upload a new release soon with the fix.

Thanks.
