Visual Studio 2008 Express and Max 2010 Plugin Wizard Project Creation Failed

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am trying to write a Max exporter for my own model format. I followed the readme file on how to install the Max 2010 Plugin Wizard into Visual Studio Express 2008. However, when I try create a project using the wizard, I get this error in Visual Studio.

"Creating project 'maxProject1' ... project creation failed."

Anyone know why that would be?

Well I don't know why, but after I installed "Visual Assist X" visual studio was able to create the project correctly.

I had exactly the same Problem with the Project-Creation-Wizard-Files (3dsmaxPluginWizard.ico, 3dsmaxPluginWizard.vsdir, 3dsmaxPluginWizard.vsz) from the original DVD. The Files I found in another Post here in the forum finally worked:

Here is the Thread:

And here are the Files:

Good Luck,

Is the 2008 version of the 3dsmaxPluginWizard valid to create projects for max 2010 ?

when you copy those wizard files into the visual studio directory, make sure they are not set to be read only. Visual Studio will need to modify them.
