When I compile my code in visual studio c++ 2008 I get the following error:
fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Users\...\Documents\Visual Studio
2008\Projects\...\Debug\....exe
I just copied my code from another project in visual studio C++ and pasted it in this project again in VS C++. Can it cause this error?
In my case it was caused by the "Incremental Linking" option of the projects (Visual Studio 2015). Maybe because the files were also dependencies of other projects from the same solution, not sure...
I had the same problem (I don't say that this is exactly your case, but still) and it was quite strange because when I changed the code a bit everything worked normally... And I just found out that my antivirus blocked the .exe file as a possible threat (idk, mb it didn't like how I worked with memory by my C++ program). So, the source of LNK1104 can also be the antivirus.
