I'm having the same issue now in Visual Studio 2019

Each Project Node has it's own settings, and I updated them all.

Meaning all point output to game directory

And while that did change the debugger behavior (it did a bunch more build stuff before throwing the error) - in the end it still just threw the same error. angry

After opening the "ja2_VS2019.sln" for the first I had to do the following in this order:

in Solution Explorer tree right-click "ja2" and click "Set as StartUp Project"
in Solution Explorer tree right-click "ja2" and click "Properties"
In the "Properties" window select "Configuration" -> "All configurations"
- under "General" enter the "Output Directory" e.g. "D:\JA2\"
- under "Debug" enter the "Working Directory" e.g. "D:\JA2\"

Nothing more should be required to get the code to compile. The output files will appear in your game directory if you entered the path correctly as shown above (don't forget the closing backslash). You can directly start the game from VS2019.
