Hello,
As the title suggests, I recently set up VS2017 for C programming, installed everything I need, even the Intel compilers.I created a new project with all the include files, libraries and set up the folders to the latter in properties.
That aside, the code in the source directory does compile successfully (previously did compile on VSCode using MinGW gcc),the .obj file is generated but it seems like the linker does not want to output the .exe to its intended directory.
I will attach any necessary files.
Do you see some suspicious messages in Output window after executing the "Rebuild Solution"?
Maybe the file is removed by some antivirus?
Build log is attached below
Compiling is successful, it returns this output (cropped it so I won't exceed the character limit, the rest doesn't matter it's only one warning that about a function I can take off, same result):186067-sourcebuildcppclean.log
==========

While Building Solution results in this message instead:
1>------ Build started: Project: Source, Configuration: Debug x64 ------

You can't find the executable because one was not created due to the linker error. That's what you need to fix.
