On Visual Studio 2019, after compiling a C++ application written with Visual Studio 2017, I get the message error "Failed to create empty document" and cannot run exe file. What is wrong ?
Thanks in advance

2022-08-04T17:22:22.14+00:00 Does your situation sound similar to this other report? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/243699/mfc-34failed-to-create-empty-document34-error-show.html
When you debug your debug build, do you get any assertions occurring?
If so, what are they? -

You should be able to enter the debugger from the assertion's dialog and then examine the call stack to help you determine the source of the invalid handle.
