Hi I’m trying to get the dynamo src code to compile from Guithub on Windows 10 and I get the following error message in a couple of project: Task failed because “resgen.exe” was not found, or the correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed. The task is looking for “resgen.exe” in the “bin” subd…

Hi! Try to follow the steps given by @Kulkul here: [image] Building Dynamo from source in Visual Studio Developers Hi @Thomas_Mahon You will need the following to build Dynamo from source: -Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 -GitHub for Windows -Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5…

Thanks for your reply. Could the issue I’m having be because of the version of Visual Studio I’m on? I’m on 2017 community? Thanks

That’s most likely the reason, yes [image] puriasafari: Could the issue I’m having be because of the version of Visual Studio I’m on? I’m on 2017 community?

Did installing VIsual Studio 2015 resolve your issue? I’m facing the same problem, would be nice to know in advance if it is worth the hassle. Having both VS on the same machine caused conflicts with building another application I follow via Git.

Yes it will very likely fix it - you an also try installing .net 2/3 sdk instead of visual studio 2015 - but I find vs 2015 easier to find personally.

@Michael_Kirschner2 I went through installing Visual Studio 2015 on my private machine and can confirm that this fixed the issue. Still, when I try compiling with VS2017, the error message went away, but I have no nodes available on the left hand side of the Dynamo Window. So, as it seems, VS2015 is…

@d.kreide I don’t think this is the case - The dynamo development team all compiles with visual studio 2017. How are you running Dynamo? Can you also make sure you have installed the vc++ 2013 redistributables

@Michael_Kirschner2 That’s interesting. I’ve checked that VC++ 2013 redistributables are installed. In fact, I have both x86 and x64, as well as two versions of it: 12.0.30501.0 and 12.0.21005.1. I compile the Dynamo.All solution using either Debug or Release Target, and then run Dynamo Sandbox. Wh…

yes, definitely don’t copy the libG dlls. To use the geometry libraries you’ll likely need to have revit installed or some other Autodesk application that provides ASM - do you have some version of revit installed? While dynamo is open source its geometry library is not.

@Michael_Kirschner2 Ah, that makes sense. I don’t have Revit, but I have Autodesk Alias Surface 2019 available, which also comes with Dynamo. No clue however on how to make that work now with Dynamo Sandbox however.
