Visual Studio 2017 Professional.
Native C++ project.
After I have changed some of project settings project building ends with this:

Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(770,5): error MSB4018: The "VCMessage" task failed unexpectedly.
Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(770,5): error MSB4018: System.FormatException: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(770,5): error MSB4018:    at System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormatHelper(IFormatProvider provider, String format, ParamsArray args)
...

PlatformToolSet mentioned here is set.

What’s wrong?

This time it is

Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Program Database File

If the file name is omitted (while the neighbour option «Generate Debug Info» is not «No») then VS-2017 finishes building with the error MSB4018. A target is built in this case nevertheless.

Right-click on the project and go to Properties > Linker > General.
Then set «Output File» to «Inherit from parent or project defaults»

Go to the error list window and click on the error and you may get more information. In my case it pointed to a line in Microsoft.CppCommon.targets which was an XML element. In the arguments attribute one value was %(Link.ProgramDatabaseFile) which was not set and causing the problem.

What does this error mean? i was trying to follow a  tutorial that i cant seem to link here because im not verified (even though I am) with visual studio 2012 and when i compile i18n i get this error. I hope using the latest version of visual studio
isn’t the cause. I’m having trouble getting information on this error though and figured that asking here might help.

Hi all, i have a small build problem when building the sciter hello world example from the main website.

i am pretty sure that is is not sciter that is the issue, as a quick google check shows it may be related to the platform toolset version, the full error is as follows.

i hope someone else has come across this and will be good enough to help me resolve it, i have checked the platform toolset version and it appears to be fine (V141) and stated in the solution settings options.
I am very much a begginer to c++ and programming in general so this has me a bit stumped

VS2017 Pro (latest Update), Win 10, Xeon X5687 (in case its usefull)

tnx !

А решения, перечисленные в результатах поиска Google и SO, не доставляют (удаление конечных косых черт, возврат к путям $(OutDir) или $(TargetDir) по умолчанию и т. д.)

Контекст

Это касается нескольких проектов, которые были перенесены с MSVC2012. Другие проекты с тем же макетом проекта / решения, перенесенные из той же среды MSVC2012, не мигнули, в то время как некоторые выявляют эту ошибку, которая препятствует успешному результату компиляции / сборки.

2 ответа

Лучший ответ

Исправление

Ошибка возникла из-за того, что поле конфигурации проекта Platform Toolset было пустым . (В файле проекта .vcproj здесь должно быть указано значение, например v120)

< Сильный > До :

<PlatformToolset>
</PlatformToolset>

После :

<PlatformToolset>v120</PlatformToolset>

Это значение можно установить в DevStudio через панель свойств проекта> Свойства конфигурации> Общие> Набор инструментов платформы :: выберите одно из значений в раскрывающемся списке.

Как это было раскрыто:

  • создать пустой новый проект в MSVC2013 того же типа

  • используйте Beyond Compare (или другой инструмент визуального сравнения, который может легко редактировать сравниваемые файлы, копируя их фрагменты), чтобы скопировать набор файлов и протестировать (путем перезагрузки в DevStudio и запуска там процесса build).

  • следующую копию по битам настроек проекта (и продублируйте блоки, если ваш исходный проект имеет несколько целей сборки, таких как у меня (Win32 / x64 / Itanium)), проверьте снова.

  • промойте и повторяйте описанные выше действия, пока ваш «новый» проект не покажет ту же проблему, что и старый. Сузьте до минимального подмножества XML в файле .vcproj.

Связанные вопросы SO и блоги, которые были испытаны до всего этого:

  • Как исправить ошибку MSB4018 в Visual Studio 2010?
  • https : //connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/757884/msb4018-with-a-backslash-after-target-name-in-project-settings (Ну, проблема все еще существует .. . только может быть в несколько ином заклинании. Моя проблема произошла на MSVC2013 со всеми обновлениями по состоянию на март 2015 г.)
  • http://marlowa.blogspot.nl/2013/09/a-nasty-net-error-in-visual-studio-2010.html

Вывод: если вы столкнетесь с этой проблемой, проверьте все записи конфигурации вашего проекта. А когда дело доходит до решающей, раскройте проблему с помощью описанного выше процесса сравнения и проверки, разделяй и властвуй.

В Visual Studio 2013 эта ошибка возникает при попытке скомпилировать программу, созданную в проекте с неверными настройками. Для меня это произошло, когда я очищал свою установку. Если вы пытаетесь очистить свои временные файлы и перейти в C: Program Files (x86) Microsoft Visual Studio Installer resources app layout и запустить программу InstallCleanup.exe, похоже, удаляются временные файлы, но также и ваши настройки. В частности, тип проекта, который вы создаете.

Как воспроизвести ошибку:

Если вы выберете «Новый проект», отобразятся некоторые параметры: 1) Atl 2) CLR 3) Общие 4) Win 32. Вы должны выбрать Win 32, а затем выбрать консоль Win32 или проект Win32. По умолчанию он выбирает что-то еще, тогда после создания проекта вы поймете, что Свойства -> Компоновщик -> Система -> Подсистема пусто, хотя должно быть / SUBSYSTEM: CONSOLE (или / SUBSYSTEM: WIN32).

После исправления этого и попытки скомпилировать его выдаст ошибку MSB4018.

Таким образом, решение состоит в том, чтобы снова создать проект и убедиться, что параметры установлены правильно, как описано.

I got an «empty» test.ino -> ok, I tried to run/compile it but receive a:

These are visual studio build errors which means that visual micro is not attempting a build

When you use file>open arduino project it creates an example project for you that adheres to THREE simple rules

The following must all have the same name:

Folder name
One .ino file name
Project name

The first two are also required by the arduino ide.

Your code ….

You have test.ino in a project called «Fade»

I assume you originally created a project called «Test». Then you renamed the project to «Fade» but that doesn’t comply to the rules. 

Fix

Rename the project back to «test». So you have a folder called test, a project called test and an ino called test.

If you want to rename a project then rename the .ino and visual micro will attempt to follow the rules for you. However you can rename things manually but maybe easier to delete the vcxproj and .sln from the project folder and then rename the ino and folder. Then use file>open>arduino project again

May be I found a workaround…

I did a following:
— devenv /ResetUserData
— devenv /ResetSettings (as Run As Adminsitrator)
— Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio{version}
— Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio{version}_Config
— Delete the %USERNAME%AppDataLocalMicrosoftVisualStudio{version} directory.

After restarted a VS and created a new ARduino prject at vMicro->New Adruino Project then I can build from menupoint vMicro->Build…

The next question how can I debug with btreakpoints and etc. but first I look trough the documentation…

Interesting. Sounds like your VS needed repair but nice you found a solution.

It’s possible that some other extension was preventing visual micro from working. The reset might have uninstalled it.
