Hi,

 

I am trying to run the indoor_propagation.cpp example on Visual Studio. I have used cmake for creating the VS project but when I try to just run the example, I get the following error:

Is there any step I am skipping?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    often the files on the C drive are protected, so you should either install the WinProp API package on the D drive or run Visual Studio as administrator.

    Yes, I was aware of that and I tried as administrator. However the problem persists.

    I got the solution. The problem was it must be specified 'set up as startup project' in the actual project. By default is placed on 'ALL_BUILD' which is incorrect.

    Problem solved. In case someone is interested:

     

    When I installed the Feko + Winprop software I pointed the environment variable to the license server. However, when using the API you need to configure it as a Windows enviroment variable to make it work.
