I'll look into it. I had issues getting things isntalled..everything at least once..in my several other attempts at this, all failing because of UAC (win10 HP, even disabling uac and all that good stuff, i could not make it give em permission despite being the admin so i tried in a VM on that computer instead, with a couple OSs) OR..because of software dependencies which i either eventually got working/installed, or i didnt, gave up and moved on. C++ was one of those things, and i have the vc installers that came with the autoinstaller too, plus while getting visstudio downloads i got the bigger c++ sdk pkg as well etc...havent had any issues with c++.

runthrough all said to use the defaults for installs, but i guess defaults could vary for install loc. 64bit os with a 32bit program will put in x86 not regular program, but, maybe thats where it wants it, or maybe they were all supposed to be installed in c:/relevantfolder like Perl. idk.

had to install service packs (installing this time on a machien that's been offline since 2010 lol) etc in order to even install c++ or studio or pretty much anything but Perl on this one. I will double check for updates etc on studio 2017, but i wouldnt think that would be the case. maybe i should jsut uninstall and try it with the essentials 2015 i also downloaded, just thought using the one specified was best rather than the one said to be the minimum.

apparently i also have some..or all..of a 2010 studio install in there, but can't find it in add/remove to uninstall so maybe thats an issue. i'll mess more with it. that one could cause the issue if it isnt compatible with this cmake version and it's finding 2010 thus not looking further for 2017. come to think of it, it's not full 2010 in there, but the 2010 prerequisites install, which i was afraid to remove in case i'd then be unable to do the later one. ill try that and just hope. i still have the install files for all of them if its needed. might be my best option right here to try and get this to work.

didnt see any mention of openssl in any writeup i've seen. i think the folder you mention needing to be populated..is dependent on the one i can't do because of the studio issue in cmake, if not i dont remember seeing any mention thereof.


thanks for the suggestions guys, will let you know the results. if anyone knows how to fix the win32 errors on my last auto-install attempt (posted in another thread) i might be able to go that way. found one suggestion, which involves installing a specific studio and editing the platform toolset of hte file, but i dont think that will work as it needs to be done by the one making it, according to studio at least. i tried with a copy of the files using studio on another machine as an experiment.

edit: may be a while, the studio install downloads 1.3gb during the install, and til midnight im on 20mb an hour speed lol. will try tethering my phone but that only gets me up to about 200kbps.
also, the sdk was .net stuff, but have multiple .net items and c++ items isntalled. c++ 2010 exptress, .net core sdk 2.1, c++ 2008 redist, studio 2010 express prereq, .net framework 4 multi-targeting pack, .net framework 4.6.1(specifically required by the 2017 studio) then AFTER the studio 2017..or during its install, I have:

c++ 2013 redist x64 12.0.30501,
c++ 2012 redist x86 11.0.61030,
c++2017 redist x86 14.13.26020,
c++2017 redist x64 15.13.26020,
a .net core sdk 2.1.1,
and another c++ 2013 redist this one x86 13.0.30501

seems like an awful lot of them, but each one was isntalled either in an attempt at getting one install or another to work, or by a program itself during its install. There's a lot more .net entries and some other things (in programs and features) that are definitely supposed to be there, and other things that i'm just assuming are part of xampp because it had so many parts. maybe i shouldve skipped xampped and just gone with method 1 as it's more specific. had issues setting password in sql after xampp as it is and im not sure i even did that successfully (no success or fail message, just an initial no access message after mysql -uroot

this whole ordeal's been a mess lol. starting with inability to connect to internet (autoinstaller) despite being online and having firewall off..but only intermittently. then being completely unable to even run the initial install file in admin mode on one machine thus getting absolutely nowhere, to multiple VM attempts...oddly the most successful being in xp64 when it says will not support xp (though xp64 is really reskinned server 2003, server 2003 isnt listed as supported or not supported) but thats the one where i get the win32 errors tryign to run anything exe during server launch. i think some of those win32 issues mightve affected parts of the isntall there too but im not entirely sure, i got to the point of trying to start the server at least but hit the brick wall with world.exe havign win32 error. i tried launching the other exes in the server and most also resulted in that error, but world.exe was the first one that had popped up in the whole process.
