Hi, you're trying to link with a Visual Studio 2019 library (v142) which is not a part of any release of TouchGFX yet. 4.10.0 was released a while ago and MSVS v142 is relatively new. The latest supported version in that release is v141 (MSVS 2017).

Keep an eye out for a new TouchGFX release :)

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your valuable reply, and I tried my best to download community edition of MSVB-2017 but microsoft does not provide any download link for new installations of MSV-2017.

Can you advice some alternative for this please!

Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi,

I have being struggling with the same issue today, but I have managed to get a download of MSVS 2017 Community edition from Microsoft using the following link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=15

The number on the end is the revision number (2019 is revision 16).

I hope this helps
