Me too.
Believe it or not I'm still using Visual Studio 2008 SP1!(*)
Post by Gregg Levine ***@gmail.com [hercules-390]So I asked about preexisting binaries for that set.
He left that alone. Now how'd I go about building a
working version of your SDL-Hyperion set of binaries?
Well first of all, you shouldn't actually need to build it for yourself. I provide pre-built binaries for Windows on my web site's "Hyperion" web page:
http://www.softdevlabs.com/hyperion#prebuilt
which should work just fine on any Windows system.
But if you want to build SDL Hyperion 4.1 for yourself, simply follow the instructions I provide on my "Hercules Build Instructions" web page:
http://www.softdevlabs.com/hercules-msvc-build.html
http://www.softdevlabs.com/hercules-vs2015-build.html
The first link if for the original VS2008 build instructions. The second link is for the updated VS2015/VS2017 build instructions.
Which set of instructions you yourself should follow (since you have VS2010, which is in between VS2008 and VS2015), I'm not quite sure. I believe VS2010 was the first version of Visual Studio that introduced MSBUILD as opposed to the previous VCBUILD that VS2008 and earlier used, so following the VS2015 instructions would probably be your best bet.
Whichever set of instructions you follow (but this is especially true for the VS2015/VS2017 instructions), be sure to follow them CAREFULLY! (i.e. *exactly* if possible).
Of course, if you have any problems or anything is unclear or confusing, PLEASE LET ME KNOW by either posting your question/problem here on this forum, -OR-, better yet, by creating a new GitHub Issue:

Post by Gregg Levine ***@gmail.com [hercules-390]Incidentally I managed to spin up 3.13 of Hercules on Windows
without a problem both with and without your excellent GUI.
About all I need to do was to set the key for the emulator name
on it.
Which version are you using? The latest? (http://www.softdevlabs.com/hercgui)
Post by Gregg Levine ***@gmail.com [hercules-390]This means you can stick another plus sign on the side of your
desk or fishbowl if you want regarding something that works.
Thanks! I'll do that. :)
(*) Although I do have VS2017 installed on my Windows 7 x64 VMware virtual machine, which I use for Hercules build testing. But all of my primary software development is still with VS2008. I do plan to one day upgrade to VS2017, but I just haven't gotten "A Round Tuit" yet.(**)
(**) Upgrading from one version of Visual Studio, just like upgrading from one operating system version to another, is not necessarily a simple, straightforward process. Especially when the upgrade involves a jump of several versions! (VS2008 to VS2017 is quite a leap!)
