Support for vJoy v2.1.8

I'm getting xboxToVJoy failed to start (see screenshot) when trying to run xboxToVJoy.exe.

Is there an easy fix to support vJoy v2.1.8?

It looks like the app just needs to be rebuilt for the new version of vJoy. That's relatively "easy" if you're comfortable with building a Qt application on Windows. I think you would just need to replace the files in the vJoySDK folder, and then maybe fix a few compiler errors that crop up as a result.

I now realize that there are several new releases / forks of vJoy:
https://github.com/njz3/vJoy/
https://github.com/jshafer817/vJoy
https://github.com/shauleiz/vJoy

Do you know which one you're using?

First of all, thank you for your fast reply! =) I was a little concerned since the last change was about seven years ago.

To be honest, I was hoping for a user friendly, quick solution - I have no experience in this area of software development.

I stombled across shauleiz's vJoy version when googling for 'vJoy', so I took the latest vJoySetup.exe from https://github.com/shauleiz/vJoy/releases/tag/v2.1.8.39.

You might be able to work around the issue by installing vJoy 2.1.6. For what it's worth it still works fine on my Windows 10 system. Maybe give this one a try: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/files/Beta%202.x/2.1.6.20-030216/

At some point I'll see about updating the project to use the later vJoy releases.

Yeah, I have thought about that too, might be the be the simplest solution for now.
So, not exactly the result I was hoping for, but one I can live with. Thank you for taking the time to look into this! =)
