Hi Kevan,
How did you download epics base from the Web?
You appear to have a directory called C:\epics\base-7.0.3.1\softioc. Where did that directory come from?
This is the contents of the base-7.0.3.1 directory on my system after I have built it.
H:\epics\base-7.0.3.1>dir
Volume in drive H is local_rw

Subject: New To Epics - Need Help starting first IOC
I downloaded epics base from the web and am trying to compile it and run it on windows 10 x64.
This is the problem I am having when I try to start a soft IOC.
I have grep searched the entire code base in c:\epics and found two locations where "base-3.14" exist. Neither of them help much.
As you can see, I downloaded 7.0.3.1, not 3.14...
Also, my PC does not have a D drive?
The file sum.cmd and associated .db come from here:
I have only installed the base package - run the window.bat, and configured my path to visual studio. Please note, this is unlikely a misconfiguration in a config file, because i grepped the whole folder.
Appreciate your help pointing me to next steps.
