(SOLVED) Re: VS2017 still supported? Building Freecad from latest checkout fails

Hi,

Selecting the folder within the Zip-generated folder for the lib pack was the solution (I keep forgetting the Zip standard creates a single wrapping folder, even around a single folder :evil: )
However, starting up the newly installed and updated VS2019 is taking forever. How long should I expect this to take?

Thanks all for your help,
-Frank

Starting VS 2019 should happen in no time.

Hi,

I've gotten through the startup issue; there's a folder that needs to be deleted (according to StackOverflow). Build completes with no errors. After I launched FC for the first time and installed Python 3.8.9 in response to complaints (and then restarted), checking the CMake config shows that it was pointed to the python components of the lib pack. However, I still get the following launch errors (in order):

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your assistance. It has been invaluable.

Could you post the link to the SO question just in case somebody else encounters this problem?
