Please include a build

[hdodov]

After days of digging, I found this tool. I had huge trouble building, though. I found a binary here, but I would prefer a binary from the repo. I would trust it a million times more... please provide it here. It would be awesome! Thanks! It's an amazing tool!

Take a look at a response to entry #6 from @majkinetor. I don't know what a "choco package" is, but it looks like someone has made one available. Also, apparently one available from older commit, per @yougg's comment. I was able to create the binary in my VS2015 pretty easily -- and I'm no C++ guy.

You can sign up and log into https://my.visualstudio.com/Benefits where any individual can use VS for free, even to sell apps it's ok as an individual. It's in the EULA.

It's the Visual Studio Community build which is the same as the rest only for one man bands. :)

You can then pick and choose any dev apps you wish. My install was around 1.7GB which included VS and msbuild and any independancies.

I just need to find out what version of msbuild.exe is the right one.

I'm getting an error code: error MSB4019. Google machine didn't help much.

I've just installed VS and everything is uptodate. Any help would be appreciated.

I compiled the latest version with the vs2015 build tool (v140) and tested it well on Windows7 SP1.

Duplicate of #6…
But indeed, having releases on the project would make things easier.
I installed with with Chocolatey (which I had to install first!), but then I had no idea where it went (it was C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\keycastow\tools) and how to launch it (I copied to binary to my tools directory, I just launch it from there…)
I see it creates the settings as a .ini file in the same directory (I avoid putting programs in Program Files for this reason…).
Anyway, thanks for making this package, majkinetor, it is really helpful.

You just type its name anywhere - run menu, shell etc. Chocolatey bin folder is on PATH.

You can quickly discover where anything is with Get-Command <anything>

I installed with with Chocolatey (which I had to install first!), but then I had no idea where it went

You don't care where it is, just like you don't care where native Windows stuff is. The chocolatey is about unatendded installations, you don't generally need to know how magic works, just that it does.

Since you installed it, you can now manage basically anything using it, including AHK if you are still into it :).

the chocolatey is not need to install.
you can download the keycastow.2.0.2.4.nupkg file from chocolatey website.
unzip the nupkg file and you can find keycastow.exe

Hey, thanks but I cannot see the download link. Do I have to choco install it in order to get the exe?
