+## 2024 Addendum
+
+When running this in 2024, with Visual Studio 2024 on a Windows 11 device, I encountered the following issues:
+
+
+### Download C++ Tools for Visual Studio 2022
+
+When I first loaded the project, I needed to install the C++ development tools. That was easy.
+
+### Wasn't Linking Ws2_32.lib
+
+Then I built the project, and encountered the following errors:
+
+```

+
+To fix this, I added `Ws2_32.lib` into my Additional Dependencies. As described in this [stack overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53873194)
+
+* Right click on my "WindowsBtWithEsp32" project in Solution Explorer
+* Click Properties
+* Go to Linker => Input. Click to edit Additional Dependencies
+* Add `Ws2_32.lib` in the first box:

+
+### Didn't Have Pragma comment
+
+Then I built again, and received the following error:
+
+```

+
+To fix this I added this comment (`#pragma comment(lib, "Bthprops.lib")`) below my include statements
+

+Then I could build and run the solution:

+## This fork now works
+
+This fork now contains fixes for these issues. Hopefully allowing anyone in the future to resolve these issues.
