Good, so you've found a "solution" - to which, umm, I dare ask... "problem" exactly? :)

> We have explicitly set the /Fo compiler flag for main.cpp. With that it creates main.obj for main.cpp and also main.res for main.rc

Why does this need some manual effort (and of manually adding a very specific compiler flag syntax, in fact!)
when it ideally/normally/usually shouldn't,
one would want to ask.
Perhaps this "issue" is indicative of an asymmetric/incomplete mechanism or configuration
in CMake or this specific CMake environment, which one might want to discover and fix,
in order to have the need for any manual tweaking (in all sufficiently standard cases)
avoided in all future deployments...

Thanks,
