Hi, I am trying to start a new c++ project but whenever I try to load it, it gives me the error above. I have visual studio 2015 installed. However I think the cause is that its looking for files on my c drive even though I installed visual studio on a different drive.
Edit:
when I make a new c++ blank project it gives me this

Just let it generate a visual studio solution, open that and click “build” to build the project in Visual Studio as the Message suggests. Then check the error messages that you get when doing so. Nothing to do with your visual studio installation path, i think.

Well, just Go To “Add/Remove” Programs and try to repair your Visual Studio installation. Also make sure you are on Visual Studio Update 3 and in the installer menu, make sure to have “C++” -Components ticked to install those.
