I just started working with the SDK. I did see on the sdk page that you need Visual Studio 12 to work with the 3dsmax2015 sdk.
I have gone step by step though the “DevTV_Introduction_to_3DS_Max_Programming” from make to change the path in the “3dsmaxPluginWizard.vsz” and copy the 3 files over to use the max wizard. After I open VS and select the 3dsmax_wizard I get a message…
Creating project ‘maxProject_Name’… project creation failed.
Do you think this is due to VS2013?
Thanks
I’ve never used the wizard (as I think it sucks the big one) so I can’t solve that issue but you could check to see if vs2013 is ok by compiling any of the sample projects in the sdk, (then see if they run ok)
Just uninstalled and installing 2012 update 4. I will let you know what happens. Are you using VS?

Looks like the same problem with the wizard in 2012. I did open one of the samples but on compile errored from missing libs.
I bet you are right that the wizard is not that great. But really helpful if it your first time working with the sdk.
Not sure where to go next. Might have to go back to 3dsmax 2014 and see if I can get that sdk to work.
possibly same as the issue i had getting wizard the plugin to work see post #3
horrible barrier to those of us not raised in a C/C++ / Visual Studio Project development paradigm.
Nice one!! I went all though your post and the one before and I ran into this…
if you are using vs2013, you should be using VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.12.0 not 11.
cuz the vs2013 is actually vs12, and vs2012 is vs11.
that worked for me.
after changing VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.11.0 to VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.12.0
It all works
Thanks
