Tutorials doesn't work
Hey,

I've just downloaded Esenthel (free version), and when I open the tutorials in Visual C++ Express 2010 it want's to convert it and it can't load the tutorial successfully. Could anyone please help?

RE: Tutorials doesn't work
it is possible that the express 2010 has problems with x64 platform project configuration
could you try using vs 2008 (express/pro) or 2010 pro?

RE: Tutorials doesn't work
There's two errors:

1. With 2010 express, you can't convert the x64 build settings (the XML parser breaks - great going microsoft). - so you need to manually edit the Tutorials.vcproj to remove all x64 entries (recursively).

2. With 2010 pro (and if you manually remove all x64 configurations from the Tutorials.vcproj in 2010 express) you get a "Unable to start program: C:\ blah blah \ Tutorials.exe The System Cannot find the file specified. - this ones easy to fix, just right click the project, click "Properties", then change the Congifurations drop-down box to "All Configurations", then replace the output directory from "$(SolutionDir)$(Configuration)\" to "$(SolutionDir)"

PS, Esenthel - anyway you could fix these two errors by providing (additional?) vcprojs which work in 2010 express and pro? - solving those two problems?

Ahamm. And what entries do I have to edit from Tutorials.vcproj?

Edit: I'm just installing Visual C++ 2008 express in order to try it with that too

RE: Tutorials doesn't work
Try this one:

http://www.cwkx.com/storage/Tutorials.vcproj

I uploaded it back when italiencrazy had the same problem and haven't yet deleted it from the webserver. It should fix both problems, but mean you can't do x64 builds.

RE: Tutorials doesn't work
Try it, but yes - it should work in 2008 express/pro and 2010 express/pro (following a conversion which should be successful in both 2010 cases).

But I haven't checked it for 2 months (only using pro versions here).

RE: Tutorials doesn't work
you can run autoupdate tool which should copy the headers automatically
or do it manually: http://www.esenthel.com/wiki/index.php?t...on_Windows

RE: Tutorials doesn't work
I've already done that. The problem is that, there's no EsenthelEngine.h anywhere

Edit: i found the file pfft where should i copy it?
Oh damn, i didn't install it for the 2008 version. SORRY
Checked in visual C++ 2010 works fantastic.
Thanks for the support, Esenthel you're really helpful and you're a great programmer wink
Just a last question: If i build a tutorial, what type of result will I get? Cause I didn't find any .exe files pfft
