setting up Irrlicht on visual studio express 2013

Post by pyandrea »

I would like to use Irrlicht on Visual Studio Express 2013, therefore I set up the directories in Visual C++. Nevertheless, when compiling the 'Hello World' example, I recieve a MSB8020 error*

How can I solve this issue? Is there a tutorial for setting up Irrlicht on Visual Studio Express 2013?

Thank you in advance,
pyandrea

* "error MSB8020: The build tools for Visual Studio 2012 (Platform Toolset = 'v110') cannot be found. To build using the v110 build tools, please install Visual Studio 2012 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Upgrade Solution...". C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets 64 5 01.HelloWorld"

I solved the issue, it was just the .dll file missing.
I found this tutorial very useful in setting up Visual Studio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsIMqFIi3II
