How To Build the Solution from source?

[PE-MA]

Hey
I am a programmer from switzerland who tries to learn the mechanics of Diablo2 Pick-its and how this can be archived.
Therefore I would like to build the solution and its two projects by my own.
But I did not manage to build the projects with visual studio 2017 and windows sdk 8.1

What IDE and components do you use to build the projects?

Btw. did you try to use this program or an derivate of it in the project diablo2 ?

Kind Regards
Philipp

Update: Managed to build the dll with visual studio 2010. Injection seems not to work for project diablo2
