I had the same problem today  while I was upgrading some VC6 project to VC2012   In my case  it was because some of the operation in Custom Built Steps failed  In project properties  go to Custom Build Step  you can see there maybe some something in command line edit box  Open a windows prompt and paste the command to it  Run  check if there is something wrong and fix it   If there is no command line in the project property Custom Built Step  maybe you should check properties of every single file of the project   If the command line has some macro  replace it with an actual value   Or you can echo the command in VS output window    cd   somedir   echo   somedir     You won t miss it this way

Another solution could be  that you deleted a file from your Project by just removing it in your file system  instead of removing it within your project

Navigate from Error List Tab to the Visual Studios Output folder by one of the following    Select tab Output in standard VS view at the bottom Click in Menubar View  gt  Output or Ctrl Alt O    where Show output from  lt build gt  should be selected   You can find out more by analyzing the output logs     In my case it was an error in the Cmake step  see below  It could be in any build step  as described in the other answers    gt  -- Build Type is debug   gt  CMake Error in CMakeLists txt   gt      A logical block opening on the line  gt       lt path to file line number gt       gt      is not closed

For the sake of future readers  My problem was that I was specifying an incompatible openssl library to build my program through CMAKE  Projects were generated but build started failing with this error without any other useful information or error  Verbose cmake compilation logs didn t help either   My take away lesson is that cross check the incompatibilities in case your program has dependencies on the any other third party library

When working with a version control system where all files are read only until checked out  like Perforce   the problem may be that you accidentally submitted into this version control system one of the VS files  like filters  for example  and the file thus cannot be overridden during build   Just go to your working directory and check that none of VS solution related files and none of temporary created files  like all moc  and ui  prefixed files in QT  for example  is read only
