VTK installation in windows 8.1 - visual-studio-2013

I'm new to VTK and I tried to install VTK 6.2.0 and cMake 3.3.2. I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and my OS is windows 8.1.
I have followed the installation guidelines given in here and I have successfully complete steps up to step 5. But to do step 6 I can't find a release folder in my bin (C:\MyProjects\VTK-bin\bin) it contain only a debug folder.
I can't find where I have made the mistake. What can I do to overcome this problem?

It is in the visual studio IDE that you select Debug or Release or some other configuration. There should be a drop down menu in the top toolbar.
It has nothing to do with VTK, almost nothing to do with cmake (although you can restrict config types during config step) and almost everything to do with Visual Studio.
HTH,

Windows Kernel Mode Driver Project Template doesn't appear in Visual Studio Project Template menu after downloading WDK

Recently I've menaged to develop Windows Kernel Mode Driver so I started reading about that. I've read I need to download WDK. I use Visual Studio 2017 Community so I've downloaded WDK (for Windows 10) version 1709 (in default folder if it matters). When I try to create new project there should appear new templates for developing drivers but they don't.
(From what I've read I've deduced I only need to download the WDK and it's enough, am I right? It's described like that on MSDN)
So my question is: what am I supposed to do to the Kernel Mode Driver Project Template appear in Project Templates menu? I've really tried to google my problem and I did research but I haven't found anything usefull. I know it looks like very silly question and I'm so sorry if it does but I really don't know what to do, I tried many things like redownloading the WDK or downloading other version and so on but nothing helped. Any help will be appreciated.
Don't use Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017 installed at the same time, I've seen this cause problems. Neither have two versions of WDK installed at the same time if you happened to have done this.
Uninstall all versions of Visual Studio on your machine.
Install Visual Studio 2017.
Install the latest version of Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for Visual Studio 2017.
Try again and see if the template shows up.
Did the installation of WDK throw any errors last time? Is the folders for WDK present under the Windows Kit area? We sort of need more details if possible, otherwise we'll just be guessing into oblivion for the next 1000 roman years.

MSBuild folder not included after installing Visual Studio

I installed Visual Studio 2015 program using a default installation.
Later, I installed WDK 10 and SDK 10.0.14393.795 separately.
I have to place two configuration files in the attached path shown below but I cannot find it:
C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\v4.0
How can I fix that problem?
The system is Windows 7 64-bits
Best regards,
R. Ferreiro
Finally, after performing several tests I solved the problem.
Firtsly, I updated my operating system with the latest updates.
Then, I installed Visual Studio 15, SDK and WDK 10 separately.
Solution: When Visual Studio is installed, open it the first time and the required MSBuild folder will be created.
Thank you for your help,

Creating a UWP project in Visual Studio 2015 results in a ".NETCore 5.0 missing" message

I installed Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (version 14.0.23104.0 D14REL) with tools for building Universal Windows Apps. Every time I create or load a Windows Universal project (unit test, class library), I get the following error:
The download link unhelpfully goes to microsoft.com and I can't find a "framework SDK" download for .NET Core anywhere.
I tried installing the CoreCLR runtime using the DNX tool, but that didn't change anything.
What am I missing?
I had the same issue and I noticed that the v5.0 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETCore" was missing. This issue only arose after I installed the vs2017 and uninstalled it (meaning it removed the v5.0 folder during the uninstall process). I tried everything from repairing to uninstalling/reinstalling vs2015 but none recreated that folder.
Here is my v5.0 zip try placing it in the above mentioned path (never tried it myself, i just reinstalled vs2017)

Download and run the Windows 10 VS Tools Installer for Vs2015 Enterprise and select the Windows 10 Development tools. This reinstalls everything relates to Windows 10 development.

Apache Cordova Tool VS 2013 - Unable To Attach

Unable to attach debugger "File not Found" using template for Apache Cordova in vs 2013. Happening on both Win 8.1 64 machine and win 7 SP1 64 machine.
Project builds and runs correctly in both emulator and ripple but generates error "Unable To Attach. The system can not find the file specified." No further information is given - as in what file is not being found, which would have been nice.
Unlike the other solutions I have seen on web, installs on both machines ARE on a system drive. Latest updates are installed for node, git and android sdk. Environment variables and path variables are correct on both machines. Tried all api's 19 and above, uninstalling and reinstalling the tool multiple times, updating from command line.
Issue occurred after switching from visual studio 2013 Pro update 3 to community edition update 4 on both machines.
Have even tried uninstalling every piece of software having to do with android dev (Eclipse, Android Studio, Cordova, Phonegap, the tool) and reinstalling the Cordova Tool with all of the default options. Still same error on both machines - currently just using chrome to debug.
Noticed that it seems to be a similar error(the adb.exe error) but without the file name, given when trying to debug on a phone that has less than 4.4.
Any suggestions? Thank you for any help in advance.
I had exactly the same error and I successfully resolved it.
My configuration:
Windows 7 Pro 64 bits - French
Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 (French Edition)
CTP 3
What I did to solve the problem:
First, I installed ENU Language Pack for Visual Studio to install English language
Then, I switched the language of my Visual Studio to english
Finally, I repaired my CTP 3.0 installation.
After that, I was able to debug application from my android device.
Another solution (but not suitable for everyone since it's required a MSDN Account) : using the Visual Studio 2015 Preview.
What is the version/build number/size of the resources assembly in
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.VisualStudio.WebClient.Diagnostics.HtmlToolHost.resources\12.0.* ?
You can right click on the binary and check its properties.
Thanks

Visual Studio 2010 Express, Windows SDK 7.1, CMake and 64 bit

I'm running into problems generating a Visual Studio 2010 Express 64 bit project through CMake. I installed VS2010 Express first, then the Windows SDK 7.1 in order to be able to build 64 bit apps and then tried to compile my CMake project.
I do not remember this to be that difficult with 2008 Express, but with 2010 I fail again and again. 2010 searches per default for 7.0a SDK which is shipped with it. The express version seems to ship a reduced 32 bit version, which is located under
.../Program Files(X86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/7.0a
Windows SDK 7.1 64bit will be installed per default under
.../Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/7.0
In VS 2010 Express the platform SDK can be changed on a per-project-map basis and if I do so the inherited path macros surprisingly point to the correct SDK. The problem now is, that CMake is not happy about me screwing around in the project files by myself. Thus, it always resets the Platform SDK entry to the default value, which will make the Windows SDK point to 7.0a and result in complaints about missing 64 bit libs.
I now see two possibilities to resolve this:
Find a way to really integrate the 7.1 SDK into VS2010 Express, just like with VS2008. VS2008 searches the registry for the tag 'CurrentInstallFolder' in the Windows SDKs entry, and you can change this entry to point to another SDK.
Find a way to tell CMake (2.8.1) to set the correct Platform SDK in the project. No plan how to do this...
I would appreciate any help. 2010 is somewhat mandatory unfortunately, I personally cannot get used to it at all...
Ok, updating to the latest CMake (2.8.12) resolved this, CMake now detects the 7.1 SDK and sets it in the project files.
Edit: The toolset can be chosen in a CMake file via the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET flag
