Common Tools

The following versions of Microsoft Visual Studio are used to build the Wwise libraries:

  • Microsoft® Visual Studio 2013: VS2013 Update 5 (12.0.40629.00)
  • Microsoft® Visual Studio 2015: VS2015 Update 3 (14.0.25420.1)
  • Microsoft® Visual Studio 2017: VS2017 (15.9.12)

You will notice that the Wwise SDK installation directories are suffixed with "_vc" + version number (such as "_vc140" or "_vc150") for both Win32 and x64:

  • vc120: Contains libraries for the Debug, Profile, and Release versions of Wwise that have a dependency on version 12.0.40629.00 of the CRT DLL, which corresponds to Visual Studio 2013 Update 8 version 12.0.40629.00.
  • vc140: Contains libraries for the Debug, Profile, and Release versions of Wwise that have a dependency on version 14.0.25420.1 of the CRT DLL, which corresponds to Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 version 14.0.25420.1.
  • vc150: Contains libraries for the Debug, Profile, and Release versions of Wwise that have a dependency on version 15.0.27004.2010 of the CRT DLL, which corresponds to Visual Studio 2017 version 15.0.27004.2010.

If you are using a different version of Visual Studio, or if you don't want your game to depend on either of the above-mentioned versions of the CRT DLL, you can link to the libraries from the Debug (StaticCRT), Profile (StaticCRT), and Release (StaticCRT) folders instead.
