Hello,

I recently downloaded the "Testing Version" Open Rails source code from the OR website, and followed the instructions for installing Visual Studio 2022. However, it seems like Visual Studio can't successfully rebuild the solution.

Here are the relevant entries from the output window:

11>------ Rebuild All started: Project: Updater, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------

When I try to run the Open Rails program, I receive a message stating OR is missing the following: GNU.Gettext.WinForms.dll, Native/X86/OpenAL32.dll, Native/X64/OpenAL32.dll, Menu.exe, and RunActivity.exe.

Did I install Visual Studio 2022 incorrectly? I may have missed a necessary add-on during the installation process but I'm not sure what exactly would be missing. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Peter

From time to time Microsoft tries (and fails) to be helpful. The key message above is "Remove the mark of the web if you want to process these files."

The advice I usually use when I meet this is at https://www.winhelpo...oaded-internet/

Hope that helps,

I followed the instructions on that website for removing the "mark of the web" for each blocked file and everything compiled correctly. In order to avoid having to do this for each download, I whitelisted the Open Rails page in Windows SmartScreen and redownloaded the source package. Doing this extra step also seems to fix various "path access denied" errors that Visual Studio threw.

Good to hear you've been successful and thanks for providing these details for everyone. I'll add some suitable instructions to the website.

If you are going to keep up with updates to the Testing Version (which is updated on Friday evenings), it would be more convenient to use our repository on GitHub.com at https://github.com/o...s/openrails.org. The "master" branch there is the same as the Testing Version but has all the advantages of Git including keeping up to date easily.

Thanks for the advice! I'll clone the repository with Visual Studio.

Also, it seems like VS works better on my end at rebuilding the solution after the previous rebuild has been cleaned.
