Can't compile after moving from VS2019->2022

[mattiaParticipant]

Hello,

I’ve an old embedded project with STM32 which worked in VS2019. I’m using VisualGDB 5.6R8 build 4702. After moving to VS2022, I can’t compile anymore, the build fails with the error:

“Failed to start MSBuild.exe: Impossibile trovare il file specificato. Ensure that MSBuild is in your PATH.”

Also, in MSBuild Settings in VisualGDB properties I can load page, the details are:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.ProjectException: Nella regola "ConfigurationGeneral" manca la proprietà "RemoteBuildHost".
in Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.ProjectErrorUtilities.ThrowProjectExceptionHelper(Exception innerException, String unformattedMessage, Object[] args)

Is it related to VisualGDB or Visual Studio new version?

Thank you,

Just renewed!

Thanks for renewing your support.

This error would happen if the project file would be corrupt (e.g. edited manually). The easiest way to troubleshoot it would be to create another similar project from scratch, make sure it builds, an then compare the .vcxproj files one-by-one, specifically the PropertyGroup parts.

If there are too many differences, you can try merging half of them at a time (i.e. replacing the XML tags with the ones from the other file) and reopening the solution to see if it solves the problem.
