I'm trying to build EnergyPlus in visual studio. I've followed all the steps in Wiki but building project "energyplusapi.vcxproj" -- FAILED and I get this error :

Can you please help me to solve that issue ? Thank you

Apparently an issue has been opened as well on https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/is.... so I will move the convo over there.

This was an issue we had for a bit on develop when building with LINK_WITH_PYTHON=OFF. It should have been fixed by https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/pu... at the beginning of december 2020.
