Explain your issue

I tried to compile the game and runned the update file to install all of the dependencies. The test option runs for 3 minutes and then spits the error "couldnt initialise MSVC", but I have this installed on PC along with the Visual Studio 2022

Steps to reproduce

1. Install all the dependecies and then run the test option

Did you run cne.bat? or only update.bat

[NexIsDumb]

ah no wait im stupid mb
i meant,
did the update.bat ask you to install vsc stuff?

[AndreyAdamenco]

no it didnt it just updated everything

[AndreyAdamenco]

[NexIsDumb]

no it didnt it just updated everything

thats odd then, it should ask you to download so vsc stuff
have you got any visual studio components downloaded already?

[NexIsDumb]

oh wait yes you do..
maybe they arent the right ones..? well run these commands and see what happens?:

curl -# -O https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/3105fcfe-e771-41d6-9a1c-fc971e7d03a7/8eb13958dc429a6e6f7e0d6704d43a55f18d02a253608351b6bf6723ffdaf24e/vs_Community.exe
vs_Community.exe --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.19041 -p

you should then probably restart your pc

is that normal that it starts to download 2019 VS instead of modyfing my 2022 install to include dependencies? I added these dependencies, is there other that I need to install here?

well yeah fnf is based on 2019 vs

Pretty sure you can use any version of VS as long as it has the build tools by looking at lime source code as it uses vswhere to get the current version of visual studio

I believe the 2022 edition, down to the Build Tools, still includes these components and is thus very compatible with Codename. The one major option that Lime needs is the Desktop Development workload, but I do have both of those listed in the image installed as well, if I remember correctly from my recent installation to the Build Tools in place of the full IDE.
