Not creating EXE

Post by Achy Wrists » Fri Feb 13, 2004 10:22 pm

I've been building MQ and MQ2 without issues for about 5 months now. Today I got a new download of the zip, unzipped it into a new directory. Ran MQ2Auth. Opened the .dsw file ( when I double clicked on the .sln it told me the selected file is not a valid Visual Studio solutions file ). Set MQ2Main as the active project, built MQ2Main with F7, then did a batch build. Everything compiled without errors but I don't have a new MacroQuest2 exe.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using VStudio 6.

You're not supposed to build Macroquest2.exe.

You just now noticed that?

At the risk of looking stupid.... yes?

Edit: did some more checking... I guess I never noticed that the exe was distributed with the zip. I thought it was built. MQ's always built without a problem for me and I guess I never payed close attention to it.

So ummm.... nm! :oops:
