Hello, I have just downloaded JUCE and followed the simple tutorial on the JUCE website.
When I tried to run the jucer file that I made, I couldn't find how to build and run.
As shown on the image, there's no build button on the menu bar.
First, I thought that there was no build button because I haven't used the visual studio for about 6 months.
But when I looked others' window (through Youtube), there was a build button on the menu bar.
Can anyone explain this to me and give me the solution??
Also, I have few more questions.
Other people could directly move to visual studio from JUCE by clicking the icon. However, my program just saves the process but not moving to visual studio. I'd like to know how make it work.
If the solution for my main question (not additional question written above) is due to file extension, (because it is jucer file), is there any method that I can run this jucer file??
Thank you.
Visual studio code is more or less like text editor. I don't think so you can build Projucer project.
you can find this data in Projucer Manual.
1.2 System Requirements
The Projucer is available for all three major operating systems and has the following system requirements:
macOS : 10.9 or higher
Windows : 8.1 or higher and Visual Studio 2015 or higher.
Linux : Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

I am trying to use Qt to make a simple GUI program in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio. It's for a school project, but my professor has given very little guidance on how to get the Qt library working in Visual Studio, and I can't seem to follow the information given on the website. I know it's a big ask, but would anyone be able to walk me through how to get things up and running?
I recently installed and used QT at home using VS19 Community and latest QT Open Source.
The following YouTube video should help you get started.
Configure VS19 to create QT5 Apps
The Summary:
Install QT: Choose advanced, and install the latest version of QT + the support for version of Visual Studio you are using.
Install the "QT Visual Studio Tools" extension via the Visual Studio "Manage Extensions"
After installed, From inside VS, set the QT version under the Extensions-->QT VS Tools-->QT Options.
Create a new project.
-- Search for "QT" as it may not appear in the list.
And you're off.
I've tried installing the Qt tools for Visual Studio 3 times now. Each time, the results are not usable. All the instructions I'm seeing on the web are from clearly much earlier versions. The main problem I'm having now is that the Qt UI application template isn't showing up in the list of project types. I've seen instructions that say I should see a Qt menu item in VS and that isn't happening, but maybe that's from a past version. Does anyone have any experience with how to correctly install the Qt Tools in the current Visual Studio version?
A secondary question is, assuming one gets the tools installed, can you use the VS designer view, when using Qt form elements?
Thanks in advance.
I'm a student in Videogame Development, and just starting out looking at Unreal.
And no, none of my teachers know anything about this.
I have installed Unreal Engine 4.13 and Visual Studio Community 2013 now 2015.
I'm trying to make a C++ project using Unreal Engine (using blueprints is out of question so this didn't help)
Now, when I make a basic C++ project, Visual Studio shows the following error message:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- UE4, "C:\Users\Gebruiker\MEGA\Unreal\Disposable\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\UE4.vcxproj"
- Disposable, "C:\Users\Gebruiker\MEGA\Unreal\Disposable\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\Disposable.vcxproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- Engine, "Engine"
- Games, "Games"
- Disposable, "C:\Users\Gebruiker\MEGA\Unreal\Disposable\Disposable.sln"
Then my browser opens showing a Migration Report telling me that VS had an error with Project.vcxproj and UE4.vcxproj, although it copes with Engine, Games and Project.sln.
After this VS does show up without any further action, and it does automatically open *.h and *.cpp files for newly added classes in UE4.
Though it does edit and save these, it claims that all UE's code is wrong (with squiggles), and for compiling UE4 gives errors on pieces of code that apparently don't give errors on other's machines.
It would be much appreciated to be helped out, and I'm sure it would help others too who would have the same problem.
EDIT
A screenshot of the problem and configuration
EDIT 2
A screenshot of the Help -> About Visual Studio page, VS 2015 C++ highlighted
Starting with both the Unreal Engine Editor and Visual Studio closed, right click your .uproject file and select Generate Visual Studio project files, and then launch visual studio from the .sln file.
Once Visual Studio is open check your Solution Configuration is set to Development Editor. Then go to Debug > Start without Debugging (or Ctrl-F5). If everything compiles and the Editor opens again then you're good to go.
I uninstalled VS2013, installed VS2015 with all additional options checked, made a blank, new project with Unreal with just VS2015 on my pc, and now everything works fine.
Perhaps my VS2013 installation was broken, deprecated or switching version wasn't a good idea, but I can work with VS in any case now.
Also thanks to jeevcat for mentioning it!
Install newer version of the Visual Studio. VS2013 is not the latest one, VS2015 is. People report that even updating VS2013 from Update 2 to Update 4 helps resolving similar issues.
I am facing problem, I want to write c++ code in visual studio 2015, but I can't create c++ project because there is no c++ template in the New Project window.
I am creating new project in this way
File > New > Project > Visual C++
but there is no c++ template. Please help
The VS2015 installer does not install C++ by default.
Since you already have Visual Studio installed, you can modify the existing install.
On Control Panel->Programs and Features (or run appwiz.cpl) find and run the Installer for Visual Studio 2015.
Wait for Installer dialog to load.
Click the Modify button on the bottom of the installer dialog.
On the Features Tab, expand Programming Languages.
Select Visual C++.
Click the UPDATE button on the bottom right.
That should do it. You may have to insert the install media or suffer through a download, but these days Windows caches the installer info so everything needed may already be present on your system.
Go to the online menu (it's below Recent and Installed. There you'll be able to download C++ templates and samples. See this MSDN article which describes it in greater details.
While most users will be unblocked by the accepted solution, there is another scenario where Visual C++ is not working as intended for VS2015.
I was installing both VS2015 and VS2017 on the same system on the same day. Long story short, I got this person's problem.
From the link:
I am also running into this -- but in my case, I also installed full
VS2015 Pro. It shows that the VC++ common tools are installed, but
they are not on disk in the usual location, they seem to be in the
MSVS/Shared folder (Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual
Studio/Shared/14.0/VC/bin/cl.exe reports version 19.00.124218.2).
Uninstalling VS2015 removes these, and reinstalling puts them back in
Shared.
For me at least, it goes worse than just the batch files -- I can't
actually create any C++ projects. Trying to create one just causes the
"New Project" window to pop up again; no error, no warning.
No amount of uninstalling components from both 2015 or 2017 got me
into a usable state (Shared\14.0\VC still persisted as the install
dir, I couldn't find what component was keeping those tools on-disk
and preventing them from being removed). I ended up just copying the
contents of "Microsoft Visual Studio/Shared/14.0" into the "Microsoft
Visual Studio 14.0" folder -- a gross hammer, and VS2015 still can't
create C++ projects, but it got me unstuck, and existing build systems
started finding tools again.
VS team -- I totally get the goals of the layout change, and I love
what you guys are doing with VS overall. But please treat this as a
major bug; you can't decide to permanently change the location of
build tools that have been in one place for multiple years, as it will
break many, many existing build systems. At best, install them in both
locations; let VS2015 manage the "Visual Studio 14.0/VC" dir like it
always has, and let VS2017 manage the Shared/14.0 dir (via the "VS2015
C++ build tools" package). They should be unrelated.
Fix:
Uninstall all copies of Visual Studio
If you have frameworks that can install copies or partial copies of Visual Studio, or rely on them, consider uninstalling them too. For me, this was a couple versions of Qt.
Nuke C:\Windows\Temp and %temp%
Nuke anything visual studio related in C:\PROGRA~1,2,3, %appdata%, and %localappdata%
Reboot
Install the oldest version of Visual Studio you want to use first
Try to build a C++ Win32 console app with that version
If you can do that, you're unblocked. Otherwise, yikes! I don't know what to do next short of a full registry deep-dive keyword purge or a re-install of Windows. With an SSD, the latter is probably faster TBH.
I recently downloaded Visual Studio 2015 from DreamSpark. I downloaded the iso file and ran it, starting the installation. From there, it just basically installed itself. Afterward, the program didn't launch because I had to restart my computer. Upon starting Windows back up, there was no icon on the desktop, there was no shortcut in my tool bar at the bottom of the screen.
Perplexed as to why this wasn't part of the installation, I checked the folder I installed it to, which was the one that it defaulted to. Navigated to C://ProgramFiles(x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/Common7/IDE. From there I searched through the executable files and found nothing that looked like a way to open the browser. All I can find are some peripheral features like the Web functionality, the Graphical interface, but nothing to get to the C++ coding interface. Any suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong folder or something?
