Hi Richard,

It seems that the latest version of visual studio has decided 
(incorrectly) that the gensrc projects should create files named 
qlgensrc.exe and ohgensrc.exe.  I haven't yet investigated how to fix 
that error, in the meantime I created exe files on disk (with the names 
and paths expected by the compiler, as specified in the error messages) 
and the build completed successfully.

Regards,
Eric
