3dsmaxPluginWizard vs. VS2019

When reading the documentation, it says to copy the wizard files to "VC\VCProjects", but there exists no "VCProjects" path under VS2019 ?!

Hi @istan, I followed the same steps, but the plugin project appears as a "Visual Studio 2010" project. That was odd. Anyway, I decided to change the version of the SDK and the tools to VS2019 (as it should be) in the project's properties, but I ended up with a MSB4019 error, though it's not a migrated project. Sad thing.

Any idea? Thanks! 🙂

You have to set "Platform Toolset" to V141

and I usually also check the SDK version and manually set it to 8.1 or 10.0.xx (in my case it doesn't matter, as I still use only low level winsdk stuff)
