Curl solution does not have Visual Studio project in the location: I looked for vcxproj file in all the folders within: Do I need to run some script to generate the vcxproj file? |

Hi @jay. Thank you very much. I have generated the project file and using it successfully with the command "generate vc15". I have 1 suggestion. When I had tried "generate" without any parameters, instead of displaying the available options, the script kept on generating for all vc options. I think it goes into an infinite loop, because I manually closed that script after waiting for 30 minutes. I think it is looping because it kept displaying the same set of options after some time back to back. |

It should generate to vc15 |

Hi @jay I ran the generate command again. I am able to reproduce the behaviour: |

So you are saying it hangs at VC14? It should only take a minute to generate all the files. Maybe more if you have an anti-virus client or are generating on a network drive. |

Hi @jay . When I run the batch file on my local system, it continues to run the same set of commands over and over again. It is not stopping at the last line I have pasted above. I closed the batch file because it was taking a long time. It is not generating in the same order as it did for you. it is generating in this order: I ran the batch file from 7.74 release. |

This was a tricky one. Please try #6442 |

Hi @jay. I like the solution given in Curl project where the batch file generates the VS projects. In my opinion, lot of people who use Curl also use OpenSSL. But OpenSSL does not provide any mechanism to debug the code by creating a VS project. Can you show your solution to the OpenSSL forum? |

It's not transferable, their build process is too different. If your OpenSSL was built with debugging symbols then you can debug OpenSSL from the curl solution by stepping into OpenSSL functions or just open the file and put a breakpoint.

Thanks @jay for sharing the solution. I am familiar with this technique. It is very cumbersome. I am very happy that Curl has a VS project support. |

Im having an issue loading almost any solution file in VS, my current error is; "C:\Users\jacob\AppData\Roaming\curlLoader.vcxproj : error : Project "C:\Users\jacob\AppData\Roaming\curlLoader.vcxproj" could not be found." None of these VC folders that it generated have a curlloader, how can I go about that? |

That's not a project file from the curl project. |
