Re: Building EmulatorPkg and EDK2 project issue.

[Prem Kumar <perry.prem@gmail.com>]

Hi Andrew/Hot,
 Currently I'm trying to build EmulatorPkg using Visual Studio 2015.  I'm
able to build EmulatorPkg successfully but failing to launch.

After going through bugzilla I've found below bug-Id,
*Bug 1138* <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1138> -
[EmulatorPkg]
Win host cannot be built with VS2015

So Is it like EmulatorPkg works on VS2017 and not using VS2015?

Kindly provide your comments.

Regards,
Prem.
