I’m using Visual Studio Community 2015 for compatibility with CUDA Toolkit v8. I’ve created a new solution/project based on the CUDA template and checked that it builds. At this point, if I close and reopen the solution file and try to rebuild it, I get the following error:

cannot open program database 'C:Windowsvc140.pdb'; if multiple CL.EXE write to the same .PDB file, please use /FS

It seems that for some reason, Visual Studio is trying to access a non-existent vc140.pdb file inside C:Windows. I don’t know what may be causing this and I’m at a loss.
