c++ - debugging information cannot be found or does not match visual studio's

Question

I copied an existing project and renamed the folder. Now I get this error when I try to compile the application

debugging information cannot be found or does not match. No symbols loaded.
Do you want to continue debugging ?

If I click yes, it compiles and runs fine. But now I have to deal with that message. Just curious about what I change in the projects properties to get it to stop.

Answer 1

You probably have deactivated the debugging information for your project:

• Right click on your project -> Properties
• Configuration properties -> Linker -> Debugging
• Switch "Generate Debug Info" from No to Yes

Rebuild your project and retry, it should now run without the message :)
