I did this

Heyya

I just tried to updated to curl stable 8.5.0, and saw that the libcurl.vcxproj files are missing.
they are also missing here on git:
https://github.com/curl/curl/tree/master/projects/Windows/VC14.30/lib

They where there until 8.4.0.

would be nice if those can be added back

I expected the following

curl/libcurl version

curl 8.5.0, git

operating system

Windows

Edit:
to clarify:
https://curl.se/download.html - download curl-8.5.0.zip from there, and the files are missing
https://curl.se/download/ - download curl-8.4.0.zip from here, and the files are there

its the .vcxproj files that are missing (the actual project) and not the .sln (project container)

if you open the curl-all.sln with visual studio, it throws you errors, telling you it cant load the project because the files are missing

They seem to also be missing in the daily snapshots

I've been told you can generate such files with cmake

its true that you can generate a complete sln with cmake, but you have to pre-select all the flags there already and then get one project, instead of one sln where you could set everything in the sln.

Anyway, in case you guys wanna go the route that windows users need to use cmake (which it totally fine) then the complete project-folder can be removed, since now its just misleading

I offered a work-around. This was not intended, as then we would have removed the entire directory...

This means that the daily snapshots starting tomorrow should have them again, in case you want to try a new set.
