re specify the autocad executable location in vs 2012

[Anonymous]

Trying to debug a program I originally developed for Autocad 2015 and built using the vs setup wizard, at the time I set the autocad executable location to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015. Now trying to debug and get the error;

I cant for the life of me figure out how to redefine the location to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Do you have AutoCAD 2015 uninstalled and completely removed?

@fieldguy Looks like you're using a different VS version.

@Anonymous Are you using the VS full version?

You should download and use the community edition.

yeh just express version

I'm just going to have to copy and paste all forms and modules in to a new project I think. Bit of a nuisance.

Hi,

Even I agree with Keith (using Community Edition is better), FYI, the information concerning the application launched at startup is store in the .csproj (.vbproj, .fsproj) file or, if any, in the .csproj.user (.vbproj.user, .fsproj.user) file.

    <StartAction>Program</StartAction>
    <StartProgram>C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\acad.exe</StartProgram>
