Hi

I get the below error when i tried to build QuantLibXL_basic_vc12.sln using VisualStudio2017 on a Windows10 machine.

Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'QuantLib-vc140-mt-s.lib' QuantLibXLStatic C:\local\QuantLib\QuantLibXL\qlxl\LINK 1

Below is the information from the last build state. I got a pop-up to do an auto upgrade to v141 toolset when i first loaded the solution. I see a lib file 'QuantLib--mt-s.lib' generated but it is missing the 'vc140' string which the linker is looking for.  Can someone please help resolve this error?

#TargetFrameworkVersion=v4.0:PlatformToolSet=v141:EnableManagedIncrementalBuild=false:VCToolArchitecture=Native32Bit:WindowsTargetPlatformVersion=8.1
Release (static runtime)|Win32|C:\local\QuantLib\QuantLibXL\|

Thanks,
