"stdafx.h" no such file or directory ... wtf???

Question

Hi,

I just created a new project using the existing files of an old one I was sent but when I try to build it I get this error despite the file is in the include-directory of the project.

How can this be?


Cheers
Simon

I'm using VS2008 SP1 and the application target is a Windows Mobile device.

The exact error message looks like this:


Error 1 fatal error C1083: File (Include) cannot be opened: "stdafx.h": No such file or directory d:\Eigene Dateien\Aloqa\Plugin_4.5\TestPOIPlugin\TestPOIPlugin.cpp 12 TestPOIPlugin

Shure, as I said it's in the headers directory of the project.

Answer 7

Place the mouse cursor in "stdafx.h" and right click Mouse.  Then choose Open Document "stdafx.h"
is it opening the stdafx.h file in VS2005

I just tested it and the stdafx.h doesn't open. Instead the following header file (if there is one) is opened.
