As the title suggests, I've been unable to get the YYC to work because I can't get VS Community 2015.
It may or may not be helpful information, but I have Windows 8.1. I already did a search here on the forums and all links are outdated, and I'm not finding a solution via Google or by searching around on Microsoft's website.
The link given for Visual Studio Community 2015 in this guide is no longer a valid link (@Nocturne you might want to fix that, if possible) and the only version I can find from Microsoft is from this page, but when I run the executable I downloaded from there I immediately get an error that simply says "Operation aborted" (pic), which is incredibly unhelpful in letting me know WHY. The file name of the one I tried is "vs_community_ENU__1762226360.1491955266.exe". I noticed a video someone made to show how to set up the YYC in GMS2 and they ran a very similarly named file, but the version numbers are slightly different. Not sure if that's relevant. BTW, the link he talks about in the video description just takes you to VS 2017 now.
It's like the window to get VS Community 2015 is gone..?
The only other 2015 VS option I know of is the Enterprise 2015 version (this is all that comes up when I searched on Microsoft's website via their search engine), but it isn't free, obviously - it only offers a trial version.
The problem is, will it not work for YYC when the trial runs out? Will it even work at all? Does anyone know?
With my internet, I'm really not wanting to download gigs of something if it's not going to work. Even still, at this point, I'm about ready to try downloading the enterprise trial version though... but first I might just go for 2017?
I'm also wondering if what was said on another guide page - "Be aware we do not support Visual Studio 2017" -means that it outright won't work or if it's just to say it may or may not work properly? Because I see there is a free Visual Studio Community 2017 version, and it is sooooo easy to find, unlike 2015.
And finally may I just say that this royally sucks. (sorry to whine)
