Describe the Issue

Everytime i try to run the project in VS it gives me an error prompt

\ProjectM\x64\Debug\ALL_Build

Access denied

I've tried different configuration and it just does the same thing 🤷‍♂️

[kblaschke]

projectM is just a library, not a project you can readily execute. Also, there is no \ProjectM\x64\Debug\ALL_Build directory, which is the default Visual Studio path structure - this project uses CMake, and thus, this path doesn't exist.

You probably have to add a custom run configuration for the dev test UI, which was built as G:\Downloads\Compressed\libprojectM-4.1.6\libprojectM-4.1.6\ProjectM\src\sdl-test-ui\Debug\projectM-Test-UI.exe. Note that the EXE may not run immediately depending on how you compiled projectM - it may be required to copy projectM-4d.dll into the same directory (and also glew32.dll).

Closing as not a projectM bug, but a VS-related configuration issue.
