Compiling a MFC app from Visual Studio 2010 to 2012 RC results in LNK2038

Question

My project is compiling and running OK in debug and release modes in VS 2010. Today I tried to compile it with VS 2012 and I got this error :

1>  Generati         


        

Answer 1

In Project Properties, select General and then change the "Platform Toolset" setting to "Visual Studio 2010 (v100)." After I did that, my code compiled fine with the original libraries.
