x86 build fails while x64 succeeds | Compiler Errors & Warnings | Forum

Hello,

I am using RackAFX v7.0.3.5 and Visual Studio 2019 Community 16.11.20. I was following the tutorial videos with the helloVolume project and getting the following compile error when leaving everything as it is, in particular the build configuration:

Above, the part with

1>Ist das Ziel C:\Users\ABG\AppData\Roaming\RackAFX 7.0\PlugIns\HelloVolume.rafx2\desktop.ini ein Dateiname
1>oder ein Verzeichnisname
1>(D = Datei, V = Verzeichnis)?

asks if it is a file or folder.

However, if I setup a x64 build configuration manually, then the build succeeds. I've searched the forum but found only similöar issues when building for VST. This happens with the native .rackfx2 format. Would appreciate any help!

Best Regards
