Building cocos2d-x-3.17 with Visual Studio 2017 hits 0x000007b

Hello, thanks for your replies but this actually confusing me a bit more.

@drelaptop

for this issue, you should install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 / 2013 on official site, not put a copy in the build folder.

I have “Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015” installed, it even complains about being already installed and yet still says “msvcr110.dll” is missing. I’m not sure… is it supposed to be automatically included?

Retargeting the SDK to Windows 10 does not fix this. I actually have no other SDK installed but 10.0.17134.0.

thanks, ReTarget Windows SDK is a common solution for windows build issue, when developer use a different windows environment. for example Win10 or VS 2017, different from Win7 & VS 2015.

Retargeting does not solve anything for me sadly, as said related to that missing DLL.

When I pick v140_xp as toolset only, it complains about not being able to open a lot of header-files: stddef.h, stdlib.h, errno.h, …

With v140 and v141 it gives me the DLL-error.
