Alright! Finally got the template fixed! Should work perfectly now!

Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sfmlsimpleandfastinstaller/

No problem, I am, however, having problems with making the templates use the correct directory if the user customizes the installation. VS2013 doesn't want to work correctly with environment variables. I tried making a variable and VS2013 will find it and use it, but it acts more like a constant than a variable. It just seems to replace $(SFML) with "C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML" instead of actually reading from the variable and using it to find the actual directory.... SO, it might be a while before I can actually fix this.

Hm this is not working for me.

I installed Visual C++ Express 2013, downloaded the .exe and installed it.
I see the examples in my VS, but when I try to build them it just fails, telling me it can't find the SFML libraries.

Also I don't like all this pragma directives... but if that saves me set-up time, I guess it's fine.

I'm not sure why it isn't finding the sfml libs. I have a question, did you change the installation directory of SFML? If you did, then that's probably the problem. I am, admittedly, a pretty big dumbass at times, but I apparently forgot to make sure the include directories in the templates matched the installation directory if the user customized it... :P

As for the pragma directives, I just used Fitzy's, from his binaries and templates, because I don't know of any other work around for the static libraries. I'm not really very experienced, just trying to help out the community where I can.

So, I decided that I would make an easy way for everybody to setup SFML and add it to Visual Studio 2013 via a simple installer.

This installer installs SFML 2.1 snapshot to "program files (x86)/SFML" by default. It also adds a start menu folder with a shortcut to the uninstaller and the SFML help. In addition to that, I included template projects I made for VS2013. They include a basic SFML application, and a Win32 SFML application. Each template has 4 build configurations: debug, debug static, release, and release static. They both have an empty version, and the non-empty version includes the example source from the SFML tutorials, and I used Fitzy's preprocessor library linking which is in a precompiled header ,"stdafx.h", so that the static SFML libraries would work. These templates are installed to "C:\Users\CurrentUser\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Templates\Project Templates\Visual C++ Project\". As long as your VS2013 uses the default directories, this installer should work fine.
