title: VS2008 Build C++ Project on Network Drive
body: <p>The short of it is, I have VMs for building different scenarios of software. I do not wish to snapshot the code as it is backup elsewhere so I am storing all my code on the host PC and only building/testing in VMs to save space. Unfortunately I am receiving program database update errors when I try to build from a location mapped to the host hdd.
  I know there is nothing wrong with the C++ projects as they build fine if moved inside the VM.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried:<br>
  -cleaning/rebuilding<br>
  -removing the debug/release folders entirely<br>
  -checking out a copy of the source onto the host drive from within the VM<br></p>
  
  <p>*Even when the idb and pdb files that the compiler complains about are created by VS, the problem persists.</p>
  
  <p>How can I stop these C2471 errors when building from a non-local drive?</p>
