Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component VS2012 when debugging

by

I had the same problem with a c++ project in Visual Studio 2019.

The following solution worked for me:

  • Close Visual Studio.
  • Go to the project’s root folder and delete the .vs directory.
  • Start Visual Studio and open the solution.
  • The build should now work.
