I using visual studio 2017 express, I'm completely new to Visual Studio and I'm trying to build a very simple c++ project that a friend gave me from their computer. I changed all the platform toolset, the sdk version and the output directory on every configuration but it still tells me MSB3191 "unable to create directory "C:...\CMakeFiles" access to path ... is denied" and gives the OLD path on my friends computer.
I read in a separate thread that someone solved this by changing the output file in the linker section of the properties, but no such 'linker' tab appears in my properties window - i can't find it anywhere - maybe it's not in VS express 2017?
How can I change this? If i need to change the output file in the linker tab, where is it?
