Could not find Visual Studio VsDevCmd

[QuetzalcoutlDev]

Download and install Visual Studio 2022 Community and various components, but when I want to try to build for Windows I get the following error:

Warning: Could not find Visual Studio VsDevCmd
Missing HXCPP_VARS
Error: Could not automatically setup MSVC

you need to use Visual Studio 2019, not 2022. this is coming from the backend of an issue with hxcpp tho, not flixel, and that it can’t find the compiler(s) it needs

Thanks for the help, I thought it was that I had downloaded something wrong, but something curious is that the Lime page does not specify which version to download and I ended up downloading VS 2022

I have 2022 and it works fine. This usually means people haven't installed the individual components such as the Windows SDK and MSVC @QuetzalcoutlDev

@ACrazyTown I installed the individual components, but it still wouldn't let me compile

HOW DO YOU INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO 2019 I SWEAR I SEE IT ALL THE TIME BUT I CANT DOWNLOAD IT

I've had both VS2019 and 2022 and never had this issue. I think something's not configured right with yours

It may be that, but in order not to complicate things, I will download the 2019 version
