Applied in [r13165], thank you.

The XML should be reviewed by somebody actually using MSVC17.

[Martin Strunz]

Thanks for help.
Just tested auto detection - there is a change.
Path in VS 2017 changed:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 14\VC (old versions)
New:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\WDExpress\VC

[Miguel Gimenez]

Are these the correct values?

        m_MasterPath = Programs + _T("\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\WDExpress\\VC");
        idepath = Programs + _T("\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\WDExpress\\Common7\\IDE");

Currently testing with Win 10 , Visual Studio Express Windows Dektop (WD) 2017 but the full path is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\WDExpress\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx86\x64
The binaries were found but compiling a test project results in:
c1xx: fatal error C1356: unable to find mspdbcore.dll

[Miguel Gimenez]

Is valid also the idepath variable?

[Martin Strunz]

should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\WDExpress\Common7\IDE - there are binaries especially the mspdbcore.dll :-)

[Miguel Gimenez]

Fixed in [r13198].
