Visual Studio 2026 problem with FastPro.c

[Bert Mariani]

Hello Mahmoud et ALL

I was updating FastPro.c 

Attached - 

     my updated FastPro.c

     added  RING_FUNC(ring_transform3d) - line 3603

When I clicked on the file FastPro.c --- 

Visual Studio popped up

It started updating and installing itself as VisualStudio 2026

So I let it go untill it completed its Installation.

Problem:

     C:\ring\extensions\ringfastpro>buildvc_x64.bat  //  Now Fails

Strange !!

What could have happened ?

=================================

C:\ring\extensions\ringfastpro>more buildvc_x64.bat
cls
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
call ../../language/build/locatevc.bat x64
cl /c %ringcflags% fastpro.c -I"..\..\language\include"
link %ringldflags% fastpro.obj  ..\..\lib\ring.lib /DLL /OUT:..\..\bin\ring_fastpro.dll
del fastpro.obj
endlocal

C:\ring\extensions\ringfastpro>

=================================
C:\ring\extensions\ringfastpro>buildvc_x64.bat

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'link' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Could Not Find C:\ring\extensions\ringfastpro\fastpro.obj

C:\ring\extensions\ringfastpro>

================================

Tried to Re-Install Visual Studio 2026

Says its upto date.

Hello Bert,

We added support for Visual Studio 2026 Community Edition to language/build/locatevc.bat two weeks ago.

Please run git pull to update your local files or download the new locatevc.bat directly from GitHub.

Best regards,

Youssef
