Hi, I’m really sorry for not getting back to you about this. Did you find a way to build? Here are a few pointers for you:

  • if you are using VS 2022, you need to also install VS 2019 in order to build .NET Framework 4.0 projects; it’s often hard to understand why Microsoft does things that way
  • after cloning the Git project, you also need to clone the submodules; either use the commandline (git submodule update --init --recursive) or refer to your Git client’s documentation on how to do this
