error MSB6006: “CL.exe” exited with code 2

Question

I\'m writing with visual c++ and when I compile this error occures:

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


        

Answer 1

Could also be an actually deleted header or source file, still listed in your project. Just check for such files.

I deleted a Header and Source file using the system explorer. VS apparently doesn't recognize the absence of deleted files and tries to compile them, till you reload your project.

Reloading the project worked for me.
