@Charlie, we have two separate solution: first one for VS 2010 and second one for VS 2013. I think it would be better to mark VS 2010 as obsolete and remove it from master forever. As far as I know David P. Anderson still use VS 2010 for development. VS 2013 can be potentially upgraded to VS 2015 or VS 2017 but we have two problems: 1 - Windows pre-built thirdparty components should be rebuilt with new version too (VS 2015 or VS 2017). The only one person who can do this (as far as I know) is Rom. Also he is probably the only one who have the complete sources of those components. I can do this job (update third-party sources to newer versions and build with the needed version of VS (I have VS 2013, VS 2015, VS 2017 installed) but we need to decide where we can store these binaries (existing git repo is not good because it is too big now, some ftp or public cloud will be probably better). 2 - I tried to build BOINC using VS 2015 and got several compilation errors. I can handle them but just let you know that just upgrade will lead to broken build.
