Migration Problem from vs2012 to vs2015 (AutoCAD 2017)

[sct]

Hi Adn,

I've tried to migrate my project from VS2012 to vs2015. The VS solution automatically update doesn't work.

I've also changed platform from v110 to v140 in vcxproj but it is not possible to load the project in VS2015.

Also change in .sln format version to 14.0 e # Visual Studio 2015.

No way.

Here my vcxproj before any modification:

What about create new project with ObjectARX Wizard 2017 and compare old and new project settings?

Our fault: installed VS2015 with SP3.

reinstall with SP1, change vcxproj and everythinh works.

Thank you,
