Description
I try to build Installer Framework on Windows 7 with MSVS 2019 and faced the problem. Static libraries components ("7z" and "installer") has been built without errors, also "repocompare" had no problems. But, all other projects wasn't able to build and had a lot of "unresolved external symbol" errors (see pic1).
Let's consider the "archivegen" project. I found out the strange behavior. This project should have the only executable file in the end of the build. But, for some reason I cant understand, it tries to be split on the ".lib" static library and the ".exe" executable files. After I build the "archivegen" project there is a "archivegen.lib" file in the "bin" directory (see pic2) and a lot of build errors (see the attached "archivegen.log" file).
Also, I can do the following strange steps - include the result "archivegen.lib" file as the library (see pic3) and the build finishes correctly, but the result executable, at first, has too small size (see pic4) and, secondly, couldn't be run without errors (see pic5).
Could you give some advice about this problem, please?
