General rule of thumb is to run build_init.cmd
then build_release.cmd
after cloning the repo.
After running build_init.cmd
you generally don't need to run it again unless there are updates
to the tools or third party libraries. If you're having trouble, when in doubt, run
build_init.cmd
. You may also build the solutions directly in Visual Studio.
This section contains common errors, problems, and gotchas when building System Informer. If you're having trouble building then the information here is likely to resolve your problem.
TL;DR - run build_thirdparty.cmd
This error occurs because thirdparty.lib
was built using a different compiler than the one
in the environment. To resolve this in your environment run build_thirdparty.cmd
.

Please refer to the kernel driver readme for more information. You may also disable the advanced setting for image load denial, but access to the driver will be restricted with unsigned plugins loaded.
