Description
My setup is this:
- OF directory is stored on my d: drive
- App code is stored on my c: drive (dropbox folder for reasons)
If I used the project generator, the sln and vcxproj files refer to the of directory as a bunch of ../.. with no mention of the drive letter once it gets to the root. This means the solution file and the vcxproj file need to have a search and replace done on it that replaces all of the ../'s with the drive letter (in my case d:.
If I can figure it out, I'll send a PR that checks for going across drive boundaries, and then just using the absolute path from the drive.

Research direction
Reproduce the project-generator setup with the OF directory on one drive and the app on another, then inspect how it writes the .sln and .vcxproj paths. Done means generated Visual Studio project files retain the OF drive letter and open without manual search-and-replace.
