The .cpp file in question does not further qualify the name of the header
file.
The .cpp file is "main.cpp", which includes "XXXProduct.ver". The .ver file
includes "cppfile1.h". Instead of getting it from include path
"..\BasicOuterLayer\Dist\Include" it gets it from "..\Share\Include".
Interestingly enough if I delete "cppfile1.h" from "..\Share\Include" the
project compiles with the correct version from
"..\BasicOuterLayer\Dist\Include". Also, once I have been able to build and
link successfully, I cannot reproduce the problem when the wrong version of
"cppfile1.h" is copied back to "..\Share\Include". Even if I do a rebuild on
the project. This issue has been reproduced in-house by other developers on
a different project.
The simplified .NET project file is:

Content of XXXProduct.ver:

"\n{"

Any help is greatly appreciated.
