Re: CSB potential update

Yeah, I was replying to Sphenx having compiled it as x64 and it not working. I should have said an 'x64 compiled version won't work'.

Paul, do you think it's possible to change the pointer types from int32_t to a pointer type?

Re: CSB potential update

Oops, I didn't notice I left the 'Windows SDK Version' at 8.1. That must have been what it defaulted to. I have three versions of Visual Studio installed, so that might have been the cause of that. It won't run on x64, since the DM code does int->pointer conversions. It will compile, but it'll crash...

Re: CSB potential update

Did you install all of the platform updates on your Windows 7? (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36805) I can't remember if it was an automatic update but you can always just do a search to see if 'd2d1.dll' is somewhere in your windows directory. That's my first guess as to ...

Re: CSB potential update

WinRT is the API for UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps (like the ones that are in the Windows store, and run on XBox and Windows Phone). It's totally separate from regular win32 desktop apps. It wouldn't be too difficult to make CSBWin into a UWP app, but that wasn't something I planned on doing...

Re: CSB potential update

Haha, the welcome sounds funny as I've been here for ages. After the server move Cowsmo deleted my account while trying to fix it, so my post count was reset. I also don't post much and usually just indirectly post through Cowsmo :) Yea, the VS 2017 install isn't trivial. The 2015 and 2013 ones were...

Re: CSB potential update

I used Visual Studio 2017 with the Windows 10 SDK to build it. It definitely won't run in XP. There's no Direct2D in XP, plus need to set Visual Studio to the XP version of the platform tools. d2d1_1.h is the Direct2D header. Direct2D is available in Windows 7 with the platform update (it was releas...
