I think no one has the right answer, i solved this way: in project properties pages, check if linker->General->Output file match configuration properties->General->target name & configuration properties->General->target extension.

You don't need to add any 'd', of course, is more simple set to Inherit from parent or project defaults, for all 3 variables.

Example:

Linker → General → Output File = "myproject.exe"

then:

Configuration Properties → General → Target Name = "myproject"

configuration properties → General → Target Extension = ".exe"
