Hi Rodney, welcome to the forum.

When you are trying out the steps above in Visual Studio, did you target the build to “Release” and “Win32”?

I’m having the same problem, trying to run sdk\_demo\_v2, version v5.9.7.3953, using windows sdk version 10.01.8…, build set to release and win32. The errors I get end with these:

Hi @100pedros,

Could you try this instead?

1. Download the C# Wrapper Project
2. Open up the sln file, just build and run.

Skip the guide where it is asking you to copy the “h” and “bin” folder.

Let me know if it works, if not I’ll try to create a video.
