Getting a LNK1104 error when trying to build a plugin with VS 2015

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to make a file exporter plugin and I get this error after I try a build:

Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2018\stdplugs\FileExporter.dle' 

Screenshot included...

As an exeption, I'm answering to this - once:

a) does the path exist?

b) is it read-only?

c) is it already "opened" by any app / i.e. read only?

[d) are you sure, you have sufficient experience to write C++ code?]

Yes of course.

b) is it read-only?

Yes it appears to be. I think that is the problem.

c) is it already "opened" by any app / i.e. read only?

Don't think so.

[d) are you sure, you have sufficient experience to write C++ code?]

Yeah, I have a couple of years of experience. I just never encountered this error before.

Sorry when I ask silly questions. If you are familiar with developing simple Windows DLLs, everything should be fine. Max is just a Win64 app using numerous DLLs - nothing else.
