Can't open C++ projects in VS2008

Ogre works fine with VS2008, VS2012 and VS2012. And building OgreNewt with VS2012 works as well and should with any other version as well.

We also have dedicated wiki articles for each VS version (even for VS2003), you might want to check out. However the issue that Newton.h cannot be found is a simple issue that you probably did not tell VS where to find it.

See this SO thread on how to correct that.

Installation : Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable stuck at 'Processing: Windows7_MSU_X64'

To install the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, you do not need to remove or uninstall the previous versions.

Refer to the error message, you can have a look at the installation log file and search ‘error’, if you can find the error message about Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu, check this similar issue and have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue:

1. Download the update KB2999226 for your OS edition from here: Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows and before it, since your OS is windows 7, make sure SP1 is installed.

2. Manually install the KB2999226 as below:

   • Find the Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu from the folder C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\xxxxx\packages\Patch\x64, which you can the path from the installation log

   • Create a folder named ‘XXXX’ in that and execute following commands from Admin command prompt

   • wusa.exe Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu /extract:XXXX

   • DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:XXXX\Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.cab

   • vc_redist.x64.exe /repair

If you have no idea about the installation log, you can go to %temp% and order by ‘Date modified’, then you should find the installation log, or you can use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.zip under %temp% folder then upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.

A Setup Package is either missing or damaged error while installing Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10

This was a problem with Visual Studio's web installer between mid-afternoon PST of Sep 4th through 11:30am on Sep 8th (also PST) which has now been fixed on our end.

Specifically, we were running a clean-up script on past pre-release web-installers for Visual Studio, but the script got too aggressive and deleted vcredist_x86.exe even though the RTM product still needed that particular package. Once we realized the error, we re-published and re-mapped that package so that web installs should now work correctly.

The other workarounds (download the ISO + install vcredist_x86.exe manually) should still be fine answers, but anybody else reading this now shouldn't need to worry about those workarounds.

And last, we're examining our internal policies and procedures to try and avoid this kind of broad mistake in the future.

Visual Studio 2008 with c++11

In short words, it's impossible. VS2008 has no C++11 support and replacing the libraries would lead to chaos.

In long words, you maybe could do something:

1. Use another compiler: C++ compiler support (Updated Link)
2. You could upgrade your visual studio, but even MSVC12 (visual studio 2013) is not supporting all of C++11 standard.
3. You could embed the Intel compiler into your visual studio. But also Intel is not fully supporting C++11, nevertheless more than MSVC. Here (Updated link now provides a general description) a small howto embed the Intel compiler.
4. Update: clang is now also able to be used with visual studio, see here.
5. Update: As Melebius stated in the comments, MSVC19 (VS2015) finally supports most of the C++11 standard... Support For C++11/14/17 Features (Modern C++)
