Visual Studio 2010 express install templates

cocos2d-x C++
#1

I have installed the templates using install-templates-msvc.bat included with cocos2d-2.0-rc2 but when I create the new project relative to the source files, the “create new project” wizard that pops up throws lots of warnings and won’t create a new project from it.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 C++ express, running on Windows 8 Release Preview.

Thanks for any help

This problem is strange.It installed correctly for me. But it is throwing errors for me

Error 3 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘cocos2d.h’: No such file or directory d:2d-1.0.1-x-0.13.0-beta\cocos2d_samples\cocos2d_samples\classes\helloworldscene.h 4

Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘CCStdC.h’: No such file or directory d:2d-1.0.1-x-0.13.0-beta\cocos2d_samples\cocos2d_samples\win32\main.h 11

Error 2 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘CCApplication.h’: No such file or directory d:2d-1.0.1-x-0.13.0-beta\cocos2d_samples\cocos2d_samples\classes\appdelegate.h 4

At run time of hello world.

Then I have created project in the source of cocos2d and opened the project manually.

Maybe you can copy cocos2d-2.0-rc2/cocos2dx to your project

#4

I can set up the project manually if I wished to, I am just wondering why the errors are been thrown in the first place!
They are all javascript errors which appear when the Application Wizard tries to open

#5

For anyone that may be able to help out, I have attached a screenshot of what comes up for the Application Wizard.
The Cancel button closes it, the Help button opens a page that doesn’t exist in the little window, and the Finish button shows an error box.

#6

I got the same error message (same as your screenshot).

Any solution yet?

#7

I tested out on a collegues computer and narrowed it down to either it been a problem with express (less likely) or a problem with running it with windows 8, as it worked fine on his computer with windows 7 and vs2010 ultimate.

My solution was just to hack apart and use the HelloWorld solution as a starting point for projects!

#8

Open cocos2d-win.sln file .Right click on the solution add>new Project.
In the cocos2d-x templates installed ,create a new project and choose the directory as cocos2d-x root.After the project is created,
Now right click on the project debug>startnewinstance. The project runs. What happens is executable is present in Debug.win32 in cocos2d-x root folder. If you want to execute it copy all the resources to this folder , the exe runs.

The problem is that the templates are not installing correctly…not that we don’t understand how to get it running =P

#10

It installed correctly with my visualstudio 2008. I think it’s problem with your visual c++.

#11

I think it is platform related problem. I am using Windows 8 too.

#12

I had a feeling it was to do with Windows 8…silly Microsoft changing the way things work :wink:

#13

Just did a investigation.
in template\msvc\CCAppWiz.win32\HTML\1033\default.htm line 322 “setDirection();”

This “setDirection” doesnt seems to be defined anywhere. It looks a bit better after commenting this line.
Any idea?

#14

I solved it. I can now create project.

  1. add in line 4 in both default.htm and features.htm .
  2. unblock “install-templates-msvc.bat”
  3. done
#15

Nice one =D Thanks a lot for that
