问题
I have atls.lib in my hard drive, but I can't link it into my Visual Studio project. I know that atls.lib is an ATL specific library file, and I have all the ATL files/headers/libraries. However, I still can't link them.
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'atls.lib'
Can anyone help a helpless programmer?
Thank you very much.

It seems that the library directory has not been added. In Project Properties, Linker, General options, add the directory where atls.lib resides to the Additional Library Directories field.

In my case the problem was missing ATL/MFC libraries for x64, I had to add them in the Visual Studio installer (it was an open source project, so I wasn't aware of the requirement).
Once again, the invaluable procmon did the job:
While atls.lib was found under $(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib the linker looked in $(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib\amd64.

Just to keep this question updated, I encountered this error after running the install for Spectre, the VC++ spec code mitigation tool. After looking at the VC++ directories, I noticed that both the Include Directories and the Library Directories have changed to add a "Spectre" addition to the path, while the original path to the actual file is no longer there. I will update this later after I figure out whether Spectre didn't install correctly, or if simply changing the path will solve the issue; I do NOT want the speculative attack exposed in my code, which apparently happens with ATL code.
EDIT
My compiler is VS 2017 Community Edition.

The solution that worked for me is here, discovered by Holger Schmeken

I have soloved this problem by just copying this file to my project folder.
回答5:
I added <Visual Studio folder\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.15.26726\atlmfc\lib\x64\atls.lib> to the Linker>Input> Additional Dependencies in solution properties and it got resolved.
