MSVCRenamer

Rename Microsoft Visual Studio C++ projects without breaking internal links.

The Problem

Renaming a Visual Studio C++ project manually often leads to broken projects:

  • Renaming the folder breaks all paths in .vcxproj
  • Visual Studio's built-in "Rename" doesn't update everything
  • You end up editing XML files by hand - slow and error-prone

The Solution

Point to your project, enter a new name, and you're done. The tool:

  • Updates .sln, .vcxproj, .vcxproj.filters files
  • Renames the project folder and all related files
  • Creates backups (.bak) before any changes

Requirements:

  • CMake 3.10+
  • C++17 compiler
  • pugixml (included in external/)
