warning LNK4075: ignoring ‘/EDITANDCONTINUE’ due to ‘/SAFESEH’ specification

When you upgraded your VC++ project to Visual Studio 2013 or later(?), this warning appears. It looks like VS failed to upgrade projects properly.

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='UnicodeDebug|Win32'" Label="Configuration">
    <ConfigurationType>Application</ConfigurationType>
    <PlatformToolset>v120</PlatformToolset>
    <UseOfMfc>Dynamic</UseOfMfc>

    <CharacterSet>Unicode</CharacterSet>
  </PropertyGroup>

It needs to add “<UseDebugLibraries>true</UseDebugLibraries>” to your *.vcxproj file. See the following fixed file. In a Release configuration, it needs to set false of this attribute.

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='UnicodeDebug|Win32'" Label="Configuration">
    <ConfigurationType>Application</ConfigurationType>
    <PlatformToolset>v120</PlatformToolset>
    <UseOfMfc>Dynamic</UseOfMfc>
    <UseDebugLibraries>true</UseDebugLibraries>
    <CharacterSet>Unicode</CharacterSet>
  </PropertyGroup>
