[Lior Ben Ari]

Hi,

I’m trying to migrate some projects from Visual studio 2008 to Visual studio 2017.
I’ve installed Visual Studio 2010 and changed the Platform Toolset back to Visual Studio 2008 (v90) which helped me get rid of most of the errors, but I’ve still got this error:

MSB6001


Invalid command line switch for "CL.exe". The value [..\..\..\..\\dummy\dummy\dummy\dummy"] contains an odd number of double-quote characters. Only even numbers of literal double-quote characters are acceptable to command line tools.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets


147





How can this be resolved? Can I disable the command line tools (i'm only using the IDE GUI) to get rid of this error?

Thanks,

Lior
