How to update dotnet SDK 5/6 for development contributions, etc.

  1. Clone the Repo

  2. Download VS Studio, in the Installer click ".net Desktop Application development", on the right side should appear ".net 4.7.1" (or higher). Click it.

  3. Intstall the 5.0 SDK (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-5.0.404-windows-x64-installer)

  4. Check that you have the Windows graphics tool enabled (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/gaming/use-the-directx-runtime-and-visual-studio-graphics-diagnostic-features).

  5. Open the folder where you have saved the forked Repo.

  6. Open the t3.sln in Visual Studio.

  7. On the right, you can see some different folders, including t3, right click on it and then click "Properties".

  8. On the left, click on debug, then on the right click on the highlighted Text underneath "Debug".

  9. A new window pops up. Change the Working Directory to just two dots .. , then you can close the window.

  10. Go into your folders again, then to "Install", and run Install.bat once. If you get asked if you want to replace the files, press A on your keyboard.

  11. Go back ro Visual Studio and in the menu bar, click on "Build" then "Rebuild Solution".

  12. Choose ether debug or release, and press the small play button.

Debug will require you to keep VS running in the background, and is only recommended if you are doing any coding on the program.

Release will build the program and you can close VS.

  1. Now everything should work fine.

If you want to open the program again, then you have to open the t3.sln again and just press play. The other small play button which only is outlined builds the project independently from VS, so if you have pressed that, you can close VS.
