Errors

Overview

This page lists a host of errors we may encounter while working with Visual Studio and provides possible solutions for resolving them. This page can be updated as we find more errors and possible solutions to those problems.

General Builds (Release or Debug)

In general, a good first thing to try if you are finding unexpected build errors is to make a fresh clone of the repository in a different location (for example, you can make a temporary folder on your desktop and clone the repo into there), git checkout the branch you were previously working on, and build again.
