Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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
