A couple of options to investigate.
- Check the language standard. You need C++17 or above:
- If your version of visual studio doesn’t support
std::filesystem
yet, you can trystd::experimental::filesystem
.
I have the following version and std::filesystem
works (with the C++17 language selection shown above):
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017 Preview
Version 15.8.0 Preview 1.1
VisualStudio.15.Preview/15.8.0-pre.1.1+27705.2000
