I have Visual Studio 2019 and 2013 in my computer. I install VS2019 first, then VS2013 because I need v120_xp to build old project recently. The error, "fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file", always happen even I just create a simple project like hello world.
Code:
// ConsoleApplicationCppHelloWorld.cpp
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
}
ConsoleApplicationCppHelloWorld.vcxproj:

I got:
1>ConsoleApplicationCppHelloWorld.cpp
1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'ConsoleApplicationCppHelloWorld.cpp': No such file or directory
Building the project on newer platform toolset(v140,v140_xp, v141, v141_xp and v142) are successful. Only V120 and V120_xp return error C1083.
How to fix this without changing to newer platform toolset ?
