I am a brand new user of Visual Studio 2017 and I am having difficulty building a simple HelloWorld project. Here's what I am doing:



File > New > Project...



I choose Empty Project. I rename the project HelloWorld and I change the location from the default location on my c drive to a location inside my Dev folder, which is on my d drive. Once the project is created, I right click Source Files and add a file called Main.cpp, containing the simplest code:



int main() {
return 0;
}


However, when I right-click HelloWorld and Build, I receive the following output:



1>------ Build started: Project: HelloWorld, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Main.cpp
1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'Main.cpp': No such file or directory
1>Done building project "HelloWorld.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


However, I only receive this error if I change the Location of the project. If I use the default directory, c:my_userSourcerepos then the project builds without any issue. But I would like to know how to fix this error, because I don't want to keep my files on my c drive. Has anyone else experienced this problem who might know how to fix it? Because I am at a loss.
