Same behavior on my machine. I didn’t start from scratch but updated Git to release, ran the Setup.bat (running prerequisites) and GenerateProjectFiles and rebuilt on VS2015 without errors.

3

Resolved the issue by saving the project elsewhere (not within the user directory path). Usernames with special characters seem to cause problems.

4

I didn’t have any special characters on my path, nor anything different on how the previous version worked (I’m not sure if I ran 4.9, but my version was at least 4.8). I’m proceeding to copy the project to different location (to avoid user-specific permissions) and retry.

5

Testing again from scratch; I’m assuming I have something legacy messing this up somehow…

My problems went away when starting from scratch apparently as well; saving in user specific directory but without any special chars.
