<p>Martin,</p>
<p>what error messages did you get when trying with FreeXL ?</p>
<p>Removing the FreeXL dependency removes support for the old
prior-to-Excel-2007 binary XLS format. So usually not a big deal</p>
<p>Even</p>

Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) – Current Version
17.14.7. To resolve the issue I built a custom-overlay port
and removed FreeXL from the build and then everything built
great. I tried to just build FreeXL using VCPKG and that
failed so I was wondering if it’s just my machine that is
messed up or are others having issues as well? By removing
FreeXL will I be crippling any other drivers that may depend
on it? I looked at the docs and it didn’t seem that
important? Also, is there a way to specify what drivers not
to build without doing a custom-overlay port?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
