title: Visual studio: change reference paths?
body: <p>I am trying to build an old C# project in VS Community 2017 and receive the following error:</p>
  
  <p><code>C:\Users\shrout\source\repos\MyFirstNppPlugin\MyFirstNppPlugin\DllExport\NppPlugin.DllExport.targets : warning : Cannot find lib.exe in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\\..\..\VC\bin'.</code></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is there a method by which I can point VS 2017 to a different directory for lib.exe?</li>
  <li>If I create a <code>Community\VC\bin</code> directory and put <code>lib.exe</code> into it the build progresses past this point</li>
  <li>The lib.exe file I am using is currently located in <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\bin\Hostx64\x64</code>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I would prefer to point VS at this directory instead of the one being referenced, but  don't know where to make that change.</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Extra Info:</strong> I am trying to build a sample NotePad++ plugin from the following page: </p>
