In order to create the local application executable file, you need to create a Visual Studio Project. Within the Samples directory, there is an example local application called "DOSCMD", which can be used to build the "DOSCMD" local application. To create a project:

•Open Visual Studio and select the "Create a new project" from the "Get started" panel,

•Select the C++ template, "Windows Desktop Application",

•Set the Project Name, for example "DosCmd" and Select the location of the DOSCMD sample,

•Add the DOSCMD.C source File to the Project within the Solution Explorer,

•In the Advanced section of Configuration Properties, ensure the Character Set is "Use Multi-Byte Character Set",

•Add the ESL Lib and Include directories to the VC++ Directories in the Project Properties for "All Configurations", using the Macro "$(ESL_Install)" as the prefix (i.e. $(ESL_Install)\include and $(ESL_Install)\lib),

•In the "Linker" section of the Project Properties, add the Input within "Additional Dependencies" "LocalApp.lib",

•Ensure the System "SubSystem" is set to "Windows".

Save the amended properties, then you will be able to build the LocalApplication, in this example "DosCmd.exe".
