Failure to compile or open Visual Studio

I have been attempting to convert a model made with flexscript to C++ and compile it to optimize its speed. I have read the description found in

https://www.flexsim.com/community/fo...read.php?t=444

but I am stuck.

I have installed Visual Studio Express 2013 with Flexsim 7.5.4, and I have set up flexsim to enable debugging using visual studio 2013 in the Compile tap of the Global Preferences. However I am still unable to launch Visual Studio from the Build menu -> Open Visual Studio...

Also when I attempt to compile a completely empty model I get the following error message:

"The compiler detected syntax errors. Would you like to open Visual C++? This facilitates checking the syntax."

No matter what I chose next.. nothing happens. The output in the compiler console can be seen below.

I have read through https://www.flexsim.com/community/fo...hp/t-1264.html
But my TEMP/TMP paths have no spaces in them, so thats probably not the same issue.

In the Global Preferences Compile tab, check you've set the operating system bit level to match your Windows installation (not FlexSim installation)

Yes, is says Operating System Type, and I am running win7-64bit.

That's odd because the symptoms you describe and the console output you had match those you'd get when the incorrect windows bit level is set - resulting in incorrect paths.

In the same preferences compiler tab, you have selected VS2013 Express and not VS2013 I guess?

Ok so going over the setting again I have gotten a little bit further. I can now open visual studio from the Flexsim Build Menu, but when switching the model to C++ and trying to compile I still get a lot of errors.

I get a looong list of errors and it stop by saying 'error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation'

These are the first 30 or so lines in the error log:

In Visual Studio, is the solution platform set to x64 ?
