Error with DLLExporter.exe

[Azthenix]

Shows an error while building a plugin. I am using the tutorial for creating a plugin and this error shows up.

EXEC : DllExporter error : ilasm.exe not found

Edit:
I'm using Visual Studio 2019

[Azthenix]

Ilasm.exe (IL Assembler) not installed?

I have it installed and I can run it on Developer CMD for Visual Studio

it's location is on C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

It's fixed. IDK what happened it just fixed itself.

My guess though is that I needed 2.0 SDK or framework for .NET. I installed this around the time when I was having the error but when I checked on the cmd it didn't show when I used dotnet --list-sdks on the cmd. So I gave up, but after a few days I checked my SDKs again and it showed up and I can now build the plugin. I must've needed to restart the pc to use the SDK.

Glad you got it worked out.

I just checked the source, and it does specifically ask for .NET v2.0.
https://github.com/rainmeter/rainmeter/blob/master/Build/DllExporter/Program.cs#L178

At some point, we should upgrade that to at least v3.5 since that comes with Windows 7. Or, when we drop for Windows 7 (yes, it's coming), we could just default it to v4.6 (for Windows 10).

I don't think .NET 3.5 is installed by default with Windows 10 anymore, although it does "come with" the installation.

If you search for "Windows Features" from the Start menu, you can use that to add .NET 3.5, which includes 2.0 as a part of it.

But I agree, once we throw Windows 7 under the bus, we should upgrade all the C# stuff to use the latest 4.x version of .NET that comes with Windows 10.
