Visual Studio Cannot Find "dllentry.cpp"

[xxshirzadxx]

Hi,

As a scripter, I'm trying to make my first plugin using app wizard in visual studio.

I did everything as mentioned in "readme.txt" and I still get this error.
Here is the information you may need for helping me:

• My SDK Path: "D:\program files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2022 SDK\maxsdk"
• My Visual Studio Version: "2022"
• My ".vsz .vsdir .ico" File Path: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\vcprojects"

• My "3dsmaxPluginWizard.vsz" Text File:

VSWIZARD 7.0
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.17.0

Param="WIZARD_NAME = 3dsmaxPluginWizard"
Param="ABSOLUTE_PATH = D:\program files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2022 SDK\maxsdk\howto\3dsmaxPluginWizard"
Param="FALLBACK_LCID = 1033"

My problem is that 'dllentry.cpp' is exactly on that path and it can not be found!

I would not be totally sure, that VS2022 is supported already..

It does actually.

I compiled some samples with it.

Only appWizard have this problem.

Compilation is one thing but the wizard is a different story. AFAIR in older Max versions the wizard needed to be tuned to get it working with newer VS releases.

Sure, but I had the same issue with VS 2019

[istan]

2022 (24.0)

Windows 10 x64

2022

Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, Platform Toolset v141, Windows SDK 10.0.17134.0

.NET 4.8

Qt 5.15.1

Just tested out 2017, still have the same error.

Then I'm running out of ideas.

You could download the SDK from Max2020 and test this Wizard with VS2017.

If it's working with the paths from Max2020SDK, you just have to change the include/library paths to point to Max2022SDK in order to build plugins for Max2022.

You have installed sdk on disk that is different from C: so it might be the issue.

Check if environment variables are set to correct sdk path.

And maybe you need to edit paths in 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014 SDK\howto\3dsmaxPluginWizard\HTML\1033\userDefaults.js'
