You can [download the correct version here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/). Note that older versions of Visual Studio will not work as they do not support enough of the C++17 standard.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
+\note A much easier way of getting a bot running is available \ref build-a-discord-bot-windows-visual-studio "here"! We recommend using that one if this process seems too complex or you run into too many issues.
+
 - If you get an error that a DLL is missing (e.g. `dpp.dll` or `opus.dll`) when starting your bot, then simply copy all DLLs from the **bin** directory of where you extracted the D++ zip file to, into the same directory where your bot's executable is. You only need to do this once. There should be several of these DLL files: `dpp.dll`, `zlib.dll`, `openssl.dll` and `libcrypto.dll` (or similarly named SSL related files), `libsodium.dll` and `opus.dll`.
 - Please note that if you change the architecture (step 13) you must reconfigure all of steps 7 through 12 again as these configurations are specific to each architecture. This is to allow for different sets of precompiled libs, e.g. for `x86`, `x64`, etc.
+- If you get an error that says "Debug/Release mismatch", **you are using the wrong configuration of the D++ dll**. Your bot's executable and the dpp.dll file should both be built in either Release or Debug, you get this error if they are different. We recommend using \ref build-a-discord-bot-windows-visual-studio "the bot template", it has all those things already set up.
 - You should run your bot from a command prompt. If you do not, and it exits, you will not be able to see any output as the window will immediately close.
 - If you need to update the `opus.dll` or `zlib.dll` (or any other prebuilt dll) these can be obtained by requesting them to be installed via `vcpkg` then copying the dlls, libraries and headers from the vcpkg `install` folder.

+\endcode Make sure your don't have another version of the library installed through vcpkg. The template uses a slightly different version of D++ that has coroutines, while the vcpkg version does not, and the latter overwrites it! Uninstalling the library through vcpkg should fix this issue.
 - If you get an error that a DLL is missing (e.g. `dpp.dll` or `opus.dll`) when starting your bot, then simply copy all DLLs from the **bin** directory of where you cloned the D++ repository to, into the same directory where your bot's executable is. You only need to do this once. There should be several of these DLL files: `dpp.dll`, `zlib.dll`, `openssl.dll` and `libcrypto.dll` (or similarly named SSL related files), `libsodium.dll` and `opus.dll`. Note the template project does this for you, so you should never encounter this issue.
+- If you get an error that says "Debug/Release mismatch", **you are using the wrong configuration of the D++ dll**. Your bot's executable and the dpp.dll file should both be built in the same configuration (Release or Debug), you get this error if they are different. **This also means you altered the template in a significant way,** we recommend you undo your modifications or reinstall the template.
