ROOT
1

ROOT Version: 6.14/04
Platform: Windows10
Compiler: Microsoft Visual Studio cl.exe

I got the below redefinition error when running ROOT from a binary distribution zip file, although the error seems didn’t affect the functionalities of ROOT, those error is annoying and popup every time when I try to use it, are there any solutions to this?

OK, but still, this is most probably due to different versions of Visual Studio (and/or Windows SDK). We’ll try to fix this (using different versions should not create any issue). Don’t forget it is a preview release… :wink:
