I had problems with my PC at work and I got it reinstalled by the IT.
I then reinstalled Visual Studio 2017, getting the newest version available v15.9.24

They have changed the way they work with precompiled files. You can't create MFC C++ console projects anymore. The "new project" wizard is different too (MFC full app still working though, but in the new way)
At least you can still open old projects created previously, at home with the Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition it doesn't work anymore.

I have already found several places speaking about the problem but so far 3 of the supposed solutions tried (installing v141 packages, changing the project options and manual addition of the missing files + references) and still not working D'Oh! | :doh: Mad | :mad: Sigh | :sigh: Sigh | :sigh: .

I will continue investigating / trying things.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
