Has anyone been able to compile projects from older solutions in Visual Studio 2017?

More specificaly in C++? Everytime it converts the solution to 2017, there are some files it cannot find when I compile. For example, assert.h is never found, even though it is in the solution path! This is getting annoying.

@Manual, DirectX Win 64 apps mostly. But this project is not mine. I'm trying to compile Doom 3's source code with some added modifications in it. The project version is VS 2010 I think.

I was not able to compile Unreal's engine...the batch installer files kept failing. Too bad because I really like the code structure, it is really OOP, unlike ID's codes. My XP count is a palindromic number, 23332. lol :D

Finally got the thing to compile! After hours of research on stackoverflow, I have found that I needed to install the Universal CRT lib in VS 2017 because it was not installed by default. I'm currently working on Id Tech Engine (Quake/RTCW/Doom 3 engines) mod. I want to port it to Android eventually.

I've stopped working on it the code just won't compile. Doom 3's source is over 600 000 lines of code including the tools. xD

The CRT was obtained from the VS2017 installer. Just had to check it.

Yeah.The version of Unity on the installer is not the latest though, I think.

One of my assignments in my online course was to make a solar system simulation with Unity. It's almost done. I will post the WebGL link in a project here in a few days prolly.

VS 2017 is so buggy it's unbelievable...I updated it and it would not start so I uninstalled it. Tried 4 times to reinstall it but it would fail everytime. I feel like installing pirated version damn you Microsoft. =/

@Karl T From the installer. That makes sense, I got the unity from the VS installer and other game tools.

@Helioform what kind of projects have you made? And what version of Visual Studio did it last compile in?

How much progress have you made on it so far? How large is the source code?

Could you create an assert.h of your own by making a header using the "assert.h" source code from a copy of the library? using #ifndef and #endef.

@Karl T Very nice👌 I am trying to get the basics of windows programing. I used OpenCV 3 recently to open images from C++ code. It went well!

Sounds cool! After I download the library I will check out the Unity. And maybe Unreal for C++.
