This is a bug in the linker. It may be the same as this problem. Try installing VS2008 Service Pack 1 if you don't have it as it contains that fix and others.

If this doesn't help, turning off incremental linking may be a workaround.

Installing Windows SDK 7 for 64 bit platform resolved my problem. I simply didn't have it when I've tried to compile without it. My bad.

I've had the same problem. Without setup a new hotfix I've found a very easy solution. To link a new solution I proceed in this way: 1) Compiling the file cpp (CTRL-F7) 2) Generating the solution (F7)

All the times the problem has disappeared

Turning off incremental linking didn't work for me because I was developing a static library and therefore instead of the Linker properties I had a Librarian.

So I found one more way to fix this:

Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Optimization -> Whole program optimization

switch to "No".

It helped in my case.

I had a similar error. After trying many cleans and rebuilds I went for the more nuclear option.

  1. Deleted the entire source tree.
  2. Did a full get from TFS
  3. Restarted the computer
  4. Compiled.

Could work for others, seemed to work for me.

I had a similar error when compiling an v4.23 game on Windows 10 with VS 2017 Community Edition. The solution was just to update to the latest version of , as the subsequent patches included a fix for this. I am currently at v15.9.18 and it's compiling without this error.

No need to reboot or install any particular hotfixes, just the standard updates.
