Windows 10: can't select platform about pgelectron

[Daandelange]

In non-advanced mode it's greyed-out and windows should be selected as default platform.
If you enable advanced mode (in settings), you should be able to select any platform(s).

Did you enable this? Is there a problem with your default platform selection ?

I think it might be a problem with the default platform selection. I'm in default mode, and it blocks at this:

If I select advanced mode, the dropdown is active, but empty, and does not show any elements to select.

are you on master 0.9 -- the platform selection is based off of the template folder (ie, it scans the template folder and see what platforms you actually have). If you have

OF/scripts/templates/vs

it should show you something there...

[ofZach]

(as a side note, I could remove this scanning, I just wanted to add something that doesn't let you select a platform that you don't have on the simple release of this, since it doesn't make sense to be able to select "ios" if that template isn't there.. I guess this def breaks on 0.8.4!)

Sweet it works now (and looks truly beautiful =) )!

I had to update openFrameworks to latest master, and then do a
git submodule sync for good measure.

One thing I noticed: if it fails because the project name is already taken the error log only says:

Command failed: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /s /c "C:\Users\Tim\Downloads\projectGenerator\resources\app\app\projectGenerator /ofPath="C:\Users\Tim\Documents\dev\of" /addons=" " /platforms="vs" C:\Users\Tim\Documents\dev\of\apps\myApps\myNiceSketch"

But does not give any hint for the reason of the failure.

[ofZach]

thanks - ah I see the same error over here. digging into it now....

[ofZach]

mental note, this has to do with boost failing and the command line tool actually crashing -- there's a fair amount of this being reported:

 boost::filesystem::remove: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

I need to check on what's happening here...

[ofZach]

looks like there's an issue with ofFile::remove generally on windows, digging into it...

[ofZach]

@tgfrerer can you try this fix:

@ofZach works like a dream! Button changes into "update" and when clicked, I get a success message, saying that the project has been updated =)
