toolchain PI pico

[max.tisc]

Good morning
I am starting to try the PI pico board and I have problems with the installation of the toolchain, following the PDF on the wiki I see that the current versions of the required software have changed, I ask you if I have to install suggested versions or can I install latest ones, if you indicate the old ones versions any update requests are to be done? you will have to install the toolchain on a desktop with Win10 and a laptop with Win11
thank you

Hi Medelec35
I had already read that post yesterday, now I have uninstalled everything and I try to download exactly the versions indicated
I'll let you know thanks

Hello
in these days I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the versions indicated many and many times (also FC9) following the guide and the various posts, but FC9 does not compile, both on laptop with W11 and desktop with W10, I am attaching the files created in the hope that find the problem.
Is this the only way to compile with FC9?

help help help

thank you

Hello.
Can you check that Visual Studio Developer Tools is correctly installed?
To do that select the Start menu and type develop
If it's installed you should see:

Developer Tools.png (44.4 KiB) Viewed 4949 times

That is on my Win10 PC.
I have just checked on my windows 11 PC and I also get the Developer command prompt for VS 2019 appear on it as well.
Open the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019 and you should see:

Developer Com Prom.png (10.27 KiB) Viewed 4949 times

Is that what you see?
If not, then you have an issue with VS BuildTools 2019
This is what I get when I compile your flowchart for the first time.

HI medelec35
thanks for the screenshoots, they allowed me to understand where I was wrong.
Thanks again

[medelec35]

No problem, so long as it helped.
What was the issue in the end?

[max.tisc]

the problem was that i was downloading and installing visual studio community not build tools
thanks
