same, found ace.lib and ace.pdb in a different folder, but no ace.dll, and also the folder structure after building the solution is completely different than what is posted here, there is no bin folder, there is install folder and x64, although there is everything else in there, except for ace.dll
//edit :
So finally managed to get the server running, although I had to download a different ace.dll and also on mysql 8.0 the database updates couldn't be applied even in legacy mode so I had to use 5.7.32, now I have a new problem that my mangosd.ex is full of ++pathfinder and ++buildpol
