LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

Question

I am building a c++ project (using point cloud library(PCL)) with CMake GUI & while configuring, I am getting the above error. This problem was posted in this forum before, but the problem arose after installing VS2012 version. But I have only VS2010 version in my machine.

Previously I had run successfully using CMake, but I guess somehow any file has been corrupted (may be after windows update?). Any suggestions?

We encountered this problem also after installing a new version of the .NET Framework - 4.5 if I remember well. We solved it by installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 which made the problem disappear.

See LNK1123 error when bulding VC++ 2010 project after installing Visual Studio 2012 or .NET Framework 4.5.
