Been having a ton of issues getting CUDA and CUDNN to work as a windows user. Had a lot of Visual Studio Integration failures until I followed the tips by orangeduckman below
When I go into any of the sample projects in the simple folder none of them fail to build. I get the following errors listed in each of the files. Would love some help as this is preventing me from getting any of my masters research done. This is on a windows 10 machine with a gtx 1080, let me know if there is any other useful information I could provide.
