Title: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Users\Adrian\Desktop\SFML envir
Post by: AdrianHEY on April 06, 2021, 09:00:19 am

I am new to SFML so I made a small code yesterday that worked perfectly. Today I changed a few things and it started showing this error:

1>------ Build started: Project: GAME, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Users\Adrian\Desktop\SFML environment\GAME\Debug\GAME.exe'
1>Done building project "GAME.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Going to the old code doesn't work either.

One cause of this is building when the game is still running (can't overwrite an executable while it's running).
If it seems like the game isn't running, have a look in task manager (details tab) for game.exe. It's possible for a game to appear to close (the window closes) while the actual process is still active in the background.
