I have installed Water onto a fresh machine which has had no other IDEs installed and minimal other programs for that matter. I have created a new WPF application using oxygene and hit run. I immediately get 6 reference could not be resolved errors.
Is this a bug or is there some way to point Water to look in the correct directory. Copying the offending assemblies into the parent directory lets them be resolved but I don’t really want to muddy the waters if I don’t have to.
Curious, I have never see that folder structure before. I’m not sure why it’s different than on any of the systems we tested with, but 'll have to adjust EBuild’s reference resolving to accommodate for that, thanx for letting us know.
Out of curiosity, what version of Windows is this, and did you install the .NET framework manually or is this just the version of .NET as it came with it?
Marc,
I have the same structure on my Windows 10 PC, under the Windows root folder.
But I have the regular structure (all the assemblies in the same folder) under Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\vxxx folder.
Windows 10 Home build 17134.829. This is the version of .net that came with it.
This is under the windows directory, no frameworks are available under program files.
Ah, got it. What I think is there’s n actual development SDK for .NET installed, just the actual runtime used. by the OS itself, and that one uses the different structure. (MSBuild would probably not be able to resolve anything here; EBuild falls back to looking at the runtime folder, but apparently does not go far enough to look in all the nooks and crannies).
I’ll fix/adjust, but the proper solution will probably be to install the Windows SDK.
I guess I could have guessed that prerequisite but I assumed the installation would let me know if I was missing anything. I will install the SDKs now and see if that fixes it. Could I suggest that the docs are updated to note the requirement of the Windows SDKs being installed? I’m sure I can’t be the only one who would bulldoze in blindly.
FYI, I installed Visual Studio on the first machine that was having problems and the assemblies now resolve as expected. I will leave my VM unaltered though so that I can test your fix.
