Disappearing linker error

[NickTheNewbie]

Every other time I build a project in VC7, i get this linker error:

Importing fatal error LNK1000: Internal error during Pass2


The odd thing is if i try again it just goes away, then comes back the next time. Any ideas what's going on?

From MSDN

Linker Tools Error LNK1000
unknown error; consult documentation for technical support options
Note the circumstances of the error, try to isolate the problem and create a reproducible test case, then consult the technical-support help file or the technical-support section in one of your manuals.

Well after systematically removing every file from the program, the issue had to do with my resource files. Rather than right clicking and adding them to the resource file folder in the solution/file view in VC7, i #included them in the .rc2 file. That made the error go away.


Thank god that the error gave me so much info or i would have never found it! ¬_¬

Yes, well, Microsoft is well-known for the clarity and information content of its error messages and documentation. I know I bless them about every other day in that aspect
