did you get errors like these?

I also tried upgrading to Upgrade 3, but the upgrade process somehow failed and I get the compilation
errors above. I tried reinstalling VS 2015 without Upgrade 3 with no success (setup always fails).
How did you downgrade to Update 2?-Niklas

Yes, those are exactly the compiler errors.
But on my side, VS upgraded just fine.
Even projects that are not C4D-related compile well.I simply re-installed VS2015.2. (make settings backup, uninstall VS completely or try running the 2015.2 installer and hit "modify").
(Un-)Installing VS is already a mess, there are often lots of leftovers around your hard drives that have to be cleaned manually. And by the way, make sure you do any VS operation with permissive rights.

-NiklasIf memory serves me well typeof was either a GCC extension only or a C language keyword (maybe also in boost, but I would have to look at).
My sus**cion would be that the libs either have problems recognizing (or handling) a newer compiler version (number) or running into a problem where they are defaulting to the GCC code path.
I'd check for big 3rd party libs/frameworks like Boost or usage of compiler features we don't recommend too...
Best regards,

Yes, turned out that 'typeof' caused the issue. This is indeed a GCC extension. Using decltype should solve the issue.

CINEMA 4D R15\resource\_api\c4d_misc\utilities\compilerdetection.h
Add:
#define _HAS_NOEXCEPT
at line 62.
To get it compiling with vs2015 update 3.
Not sure which line in later versions. Where the windows compiler detection stuff goes.

Thanks fused!
That helps a lot.
edit: Although not that good to mess with the framework.
Hope, that Maxon will have that on the radar for future updates. -

If you feel bad messing with the api, you can also put _HAS_NOEXCEPT in the preprocessor defs for the framework and you plugin.

For R16
in CINEMA 4D R16\frameworks\cinema.framework\source\c4d_misc\utilities\compilerdetection.h
around line 89:
#if _MSC_VER < 1800 #define _HAS_DECLTYPE #endif
Make sure it says this instead:
#define _HAS_NOEXCEPT #define _HAS_DECLTYPE
R17 is probably similar. I'll get to that soon.

Thanks for the hints. It would have taken me a long time to make sense of the errors.
I want to add that in R17 I had to add the defines
_HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0
_HAS_DECLTYPEEdit: Same for R18

As a followup, I just want to note where the typeof issue came from in compilerdetection.h
#ifndef _HAS_DECLTYPE // try the GCC extension typeof #define decltype typeof #endif
Setting _HAS_DECLTYPE and _HAS_EXCEPTIONS=0 in the preprocessor macros works for me too.
