vMicro with Visual Studio 2022 fails to build, can't find a file

Just updated Visual Studio 2022 with latest updates.
Just bought and installed vMicro into Visual Studio.
Just updated my Arduino IDE.

Started my first Build in a while for a ESP32 Sparkfun board
(2 years ago, this all worked )
The Build failed with:   Build Folder: file:   C: Users calve AppData Local Temp VMBuilds TestESP32LCD SparkFun_esp32thing_plus Release
(I removed the slashes  .)
The system cannot find the file specified.

I have scoured everything and can't find the cause; probably something in the installs.
Any ideas, please.

Here is the Compiler Properties output from Compile attempt.
Thanks for looking at it.

It looks like the sparkfun package relies on the esp32 package. Use board manager to install the esp32 package from espressif

That seems to have helped but now I get the following error:

Sorry, that was not complete.  This is much better:

I suspect you might need to review the arduino ide usage guide for the board you are using.

sdkconfig.h sounds like a file you need to create in the project?

Are you using one of their examples to test things out?

Hello Tim,
Thank you for all the time you have spent helping me.  Unfortunately, I have not succeeded in getting VMicro to work properly in Visual Studio due to library issues.

1) I can successfully Compile and Execute a sketch with an LCD library using the Arduino IDE.  So far so good?
2) Now, when I take the same code and Create a new project in VMicro, VMicro cannot find "LiquidCrystal_I2C.h"
I have tried everything I can think of, moving libs etc etc.
3) How can I make VMicro use the same libraries as did the Arduino IDE.

Really help here, thanks

Arduino and Visual Micro discover user installed libraries from the [sketchbook path]\libraries folder. The default sketch book path is normally myDocuments\Arduino.

In your previous output I can see you have sketchbook set to g:/Development/Arduino. If you changed the sketchbook in Visual Micro then the arduino ide will still point to the default location.

If this applies then, if you are using both visual micro and the arduino ide it is better to change the sketch book location in the arduino ide via File>Preferences. Then clear the Visual Micro sketch book that you set in "Platform Explorer > IDE Locations".

If that is not the issue please post you latest build output.

Hello Tim,

I have been concentrating on a LiquidCrystal_I2C library.

I did find a library issue between Arduino IDE and VMicro.  I got that fixed and now the Build shows it pointing to the correct libraries.
But it still fails!
So, I tried 3 other libraries:
1) TM1637-1.2.0
2) SparkFun_Qwiic_Relay_Arduino_Library
3) SparkFun_ADS1015_Arduino_Library
And, these all successfully compiled so my libraries are now functional.
Something really odd is happening with the LCD library.
I will reinstall it and try again.
Thanks for your help.

Turns out I was wrong. Sometimes they work and sometimes not.
I have run out of gas on Visual Studio; Arduino IDE works every time.
I'll try again in a week or so.
Cheers

Your output also shows that you have switched off deep search library discovery in visual micro. It's on by default, Arduino IDE doesn't allow you to switch it off.

Switch it back on using "vMicro>Compiler>Deep Search for Libraries ..."
