Anyone using the Express versions of C++ will need to make a few changes to the templates and projects in order to compile:

* remove the include for atlimage.h in core.cpp

* edit project settings and ignore atls.lib and atlsd.lib in the linker

* update the debug directory so it points to the Final folder (for example projects)

We will be releasing an update that contains these fixes as soon as possible.

Did anybody get this working? I am still failing to get it up and running on VS2010 express. Anyone happen to have a fixed file for at least for the template they can send over?

Thanks.

Apologies if this is a repost (please dlete it so). Did anyone get this working? I am still struggling to get the exe.s running from within the VS2010 IDE (it keeps looking in the wrong directory). if anyone has a working solution file can they post it? Thanks.

Ok here is the work around that worked (change for each project)

under Linker/General/Output File change to $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)

under Config Properties/Debugging/Working Directory change to
$(SolutionDir)\Final

Glad you got it working wodvik. Just so you know I am on the case with this and the next set of projects will have updated settings. Expect to see these files available for download by the end of the week.

I know it's much work, but for the sake of everyone, and to avoid repeating the same problem 10000 times, could you make sets of project files for VS2008 & 2010, Express & Full?

There will be project files for VS 2008, VS 2008 Express and VS 2010 Express. Not able to do the full version of VS 2010 right now.

I'm having troubles too. I haven't used VC++ in a long time, and am trying 2010 Express.

Quote: "
* edit project settings and ignore atls.lib and atlsd.lib in the linker

* update the debug directory so it points to the Final folder (for example projects)
"


I'm not sure where to do these steps. I've already followed bjadams' steps successfully.

When I compile I get:

Quote: "template.rc(1): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'."

skybro, you have to compile in DEBUG mode for now. RELEASE won't work. But they will fix that soon.

1. View - Other Windows - Property Manager
2. right click inside the Property Manager & select Properties
3. Check under Linker - General - Additional Lib Directories
4. Check under C++ - General - Additional Inc Directories

Unfortunately VS2010 has different setting screens than VS2008 and it's not that straight forward & very frustrating until you get the hang of it

Testing has gone well over the past few days. New project files and template work fine with VS 2008, VS 2008 Express and VS 2010 Express in debug and release. Expect to see everything released sometime tomorrow.

I got AppGameKit up and running in VS 2010 C++ express but some of the changes I made seemed to errupt a ton of error messages related to "Cannot open pdb file" or something of the sort. I checked on the msdn website and from what I gathered this isn't a big concern? One thing I can't figure out is how to load images, where do the image files need to be in order for the agk::LoadImage to work and do I need to do something to the project settings?

I'm quite new to C++ so my apologies if these questions have very basic solutions.

Well i got it too work but there is a message loop error that I don't know what it is. You only need the first post to acually make it work on c++ 2008 professional, because I have ecountered afxres.h error before. It means that express wont work with the prexisting program. I have tried to work around this error in express and I don't know if it is worth the effort to make it work with express.

Hodger, for now put all your media files in a folder called MEDIA. They are going to fix this requirement for the next version

@ 3d point in space: I got pre existing progams to work in VS 2010 express by excluding a projectname.rc from the project (I still kept the file). I don't have a clue how dangerous this is but it worked.

@ Bjadams: Thanks, worked like a charm.

Never mind look at post, make a media file for the program, this will make your program work. Put the folder in the final folder that was created. I show picture of where that folder would be located with reference to the main program.

Visual C++ 2010 Express is part of the Visual Studio 2010 Express family, a free set of tools that Windows developers at any level can use to create custom applications using basic and expert settings. Visual C++ is a powerful language that is designed to give you deep and detailed control when you build either native Windows (COM+) applications or .NET Framework managed Windows applications.

I am not a C++ coder, but I do have VS2010 Pro (under BizSpark).
If anyone would like to explain exactly how I setup a 2010 project/solution to work with AppGameKit, then I can send the resultant project/solution to whomever needs it.

Going back to Mike Johnson's comment regarding the linker options
Quote: "* edit project settings and ignore atls.lib and atlsd.lib in the linker"
.

If you are using Visual Studio Express 8, you need to separate the lib names by semi-colons. The examples were then compiling ok.
