I'm trying to run C++ code in microsoft visual version 6.0. The code is well compiling but I'm getting the error "fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "Debug/Assignment.exe" when I try to build. The file is saved in the project named Assignment. I'm new to C++ and the microsoft visual stuff. I don't know where to start from to get around error. Please help.
Sounds like a copy of the exe (Debug/Assignment.exe) is already running so visual studio can't overwrite the file. Have a look in the task manager / process explorer and kill any copies that are running then try again.
Curiously, in my case it was a CMake 'debug' linker library path setting that caused almost the same error, and I guess you can have similar problems with 'optimized.obj' linking failures.
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'debug.obj'
This is because the compiler doesn't have access to that file. Change the project directory and try again.
For me this error started coming when I turned on Preprocessing output
Project properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessing -> Preprocess to a file: Yes (/P)

Just installed Windows 10 and VS2022, created an empty project, set compiler to Clang, compiled and I get these errors:
1>lld-link : error : could not open 'msvcrtd.lib': no such file or directory
1>lld-link : error : could not open 'oldnames.lib': no such file or directory
I'm sure I could add a path to the linker settings but I don't understand why this error occurs "out of the box"? Is there a bug with the VS2022 installation/surely this should not happen?
For could not open 'msvcrtd.lib', installing the Windos 10 SDK in Visual Studio Installer usually solves the problem. But just in case I also recommend you to read this issue.
About could not open 'oldnames.lib', you could refer to this issue in MSDN.
I get this message when I try to build LLVM using Visual Studio 2019. Has someone encountered similar problem?
Also, I'm getting this error that "Project file does not exist." and something about CustomBuild.
I get the same error with others .inc files
I have strange error during building my solution. Yesterday everything was fine, but today I get this error
Picture of error from error list:
Copy/paste error from output:
fatal error CS2007: Unrecognized option: '/ruleset:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\Rule Sets\MinimumRecommendedRules.ruleset"'
Solution contains many projects, but during building all solution, only one project show this error.
Does anyone can help me?
P.S. Changing file with ruleset did not help, I had the same error (but with other file in error message). But actually, I do not want change that ruleset file.
As seen in the following link, try opening it in VS2013, turn off the ruleset, then open in 2015, and turn it back on.

I am linking dll with my app. It seems that there are no errors and it's being recognised in a good way.
but I am having an error of LINK 1181:
Error 3 error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'c:\users\xxx\Project\Release\mydll.lib
What could be the problem for that?
Update: I am getting a new message now which says the program can't start because tulips.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem!!!!
It seems that mydll.lib can not be found by the project.
LNK1181: The linker could not find filename because it does not exist or the path was not found.
=> From the project, can you 2x click on it and see if VS2010 finds it?
I'm trying to try the POCO library. I downloaded the zip file, and opened the vs solution file named "Net_vs90.sln" on VS 2008. When I try to build the solution, I get this ugly error:
bla bla bla....
1>Linking...
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot
open file 'PocoFoundationd.lib'
bla bla bla....
Linking...
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot
open file 'CppUnitd.lib'
I'm surprised, because I haven't done any changes to the code or configurations. What could be the reason?
Looks like you are missing some dependencies from other open source projects. For example, cppunitd.lib is CppUnit. This may not be included in the files you downloaded (it is often assumed that you should get the latest dependencies yourself)
Thanks for reminding Romain. The problem was, I hadn't looked at the wiki very well. In one of the wiki pages (below), it says the bat file, in the project, should first be run from visual studio command prompt. Now, the problem is solved :).
