Hello,

I've just migrated to VS2019 from 2015 and I'm rather confused.

It seems the program is not building anything. I have no build errors, the build path is set to the correct path, but when I run build shouts no errors but doesn't actually create any files. It creates the directory if I delete the /bin directory, so it clearly knows the correct location.

I've tried this with a C++, C#, and VB.Net application. The C# and VB.Net all failed, and one of three C++ console applications succeeded, but only after I spent a lot of time dicking around with manually linking dependencies one-by-one.

So... any idea what's up?

At this point I'm probably just going to go back to VS2015, I tried VS19 as I've just setup a new dev environment and thought it would be prudent to try the latest tools.

Using community edition 16.5.1 on Windows 10 10.0.17763.

I have tried re-installing and I have also tried running as admin in case it is permissions error.

Thanks.

Edit: I ran build with "diagnostic" build output as well to see if anything was suppressed, and no nothing is.
