error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__sprintf

I'm trying to compile FTDI demo application in VS2015. Since the application originally was built in VS2013 and there some changes related to the new version of VS I have several linking errors.

These are errors that I get:

    >FTD3XX.lib(FTD2XX.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__sprintf
    >FTD3XX.lib(devcon.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp____iob_func

Any suggestion how to resolve the problem?

P.S. When I opened the project for the first time, VS converted the project to a newer 2015 version. – Dmitry Kezin
Make sure everything is getting rebuilt and there are no static libraries being used. – Chuck Walbourn
There is a use of one static library. – Dmitry Kezin
If you are trying to link against a static library built with an older version of Visual Studio, the it is quite likely to fail to link against the VS 2015 compiler which uses the Universal CRT. Make sure you are rebuilding all the code you are using in static libraries. Note this issue doesn't apply to using DLLs in classic Win32 desktop apps. – Chuck Walbourn

Well, thanks to Chuck Walbourn, the problem have been resolved. The problem was in static library and accidentally I targeted to a different directory were DLL should be placed.

Thanks!
