Ошибка lnk1123 в c visual studio 2010

asked Jun 4, 2012 at 21:08

This MSDN thread explains how to fix it.

To summarize:

• Either disable incremental linking, by going to

  Project Properties 
     -> Configuration Properties 
         -> Linker (General) 
            -> Enable Incremental Linking -> "No (/INCREMENTAL:NO)"
  

• or install VS2010 SP1.

Edits (@CraigRinger): Note that installing VS 2010 SP1 will remove the 64-bit compilers. You need to install the VS 2010 SP1 compiler pack to get them back.

This affects Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 for Windows 7 and .NET 4.0 as well as Visual Studio 2010.

If disabling incremental linking doesn’t work for you, and turning off «Embed Manifest» doesn’t work either, then search your path for multiple versions of CVTRES.exe.

By debugging with the /VERBOSE linker option I found the linker was writing that error message when it tried to invoke cvtres and it failed.

It turned out that I had two versions of this utility in my path. One at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCBINcvtres.exe and one at C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319cvtres.exe. After VS2012 install, the VS2010 version of cvtres.exe will no longer work. If that’s the first one in your path, and the linker decides it needs to convert a .res file to COFF object format, the link will fail with LNK1123.

(Really annoying that the error message has nothing to do with the actual problem, but that’s not unusual for a Microsoft product.)

Just delete/rename the older version of the utility, or re-arrange your PATH variable, so that the version that works comes first.

Be aware that for x64 tooling builds you may also have to check C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbinamd64 where there is another cvtres.exe.

Check the version of cvtrs.exe:

dir "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbincvtres.exe"

Wrong version:
date: 03/18/2010
time: 01:16 PM
size: 31,048 bytes
name: cvtres.exe

Correct version:
date: 02/21/2011
time: 06:03 PM
size: 31,056 bytes
name: cvtres.exe

If you have wrong version you should copy the correct version from:

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCbincvtres.exe

and replace the one here:

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbincvtres.exe

i.e.

copy "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCbincvtres.exe" "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbincvtres.exe"

According to this thread in MSDN forums: VS2012 RC installation breaks VS2010 C++ projects, simply, take cvtres.exe from VS2010 SP1

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbincvtres.exe

or from VS2012

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCbincvtres.exe

and copy it over the cvtres.exe in VS2010 RTM installation (the one without SP1)

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbincvtres.exe

This way, you will effectively use the corrected version of cvtres.exe which is 11.0.51106.1.

Repeat the same steps for 64-bit version of the tool in C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbinamd64cvtres.exe.

This solution is an alternative to installation of SP1 for VS2010 — in some cases you simply can’t install SP1 (i.e. if you need to support pre-SP1 builds).

If you have installed Visual Studio 2012 RC, then it installed .NET 4.5 RC.

Uninstall .NET 4.5 RC, and install the version you need (4.0 for VS 2010). This should clear up any problems you are having.

This solved the same problem. There is no need to uninstall Visual Studio.

If you’re using x64, here’s a resource will help:

This happens because Microsoft .NET 4.5 is incompatible with Visual C++ 10. The workaround is to ensure that you run the .NET version of cvtres.exe rather than the Visual C++ version. I did this by renaming the Visual C++ versions of those files and copying the .NET versions in their place.

1. C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbincvtres.exe
2. C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbinamd64cvtres.exe

1. C:windowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319cvtres.exe
2. C:windowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v4.0.30319cvtres.exe

The issue was magically resolved for me by removing .NET 4.5, and replacing it with .NET 4.0. I then had to repair Visual Studio 2010 — it being corrupted along the way somehow.

I had previously installed, and then un-installed, Visual Studio 2012 — which may be related to the issue.

I had the same problem with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and it was solved by the method described in this youtube video

The video suggests to rename the file cvtres.exe in C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbin (in my Win7X64 matchine) to cvtres-old.exe

+1 to user Short for an answer that worked for me!

I tried to do some debugging of this with msbuild /v:diag, and I’m seeing that MSBuild is trying to embed a manifest in the executable, with <somename>.dll.embed.manifest.res on the linker command line, where that is a resource file built from <somename>.dll.embed.manifest. But the manifest file is an empty Unicode text file. (That is, a two-byte file with the Unicode 0xFEFF prefix)

So the root problem seems to have something to do with that manifest file not being generated, or it being used when <somename>.dll.intermediate.manifest should have been used.

An alternate solution seems to be to turn off the «Embed Manifest» option under Properties, Manifest Tool, Input and Output.

To summarize:

Step1

Project Properties 
   -> Configuration Properties 
       -> Linker (General) 
          -> Enable Incremental Linking -> "No (/INCREMENTAL:NO)"

if step1 not work, do Step2

Project Properties 
   -> Configuration Properties 
       -> Manifest Tool (Input and Output) 
          -> Enable Incremental Linking -> "No"

if step2 not work, do Step3
Copy file one of:

1. C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio
   11.0VCbincvtres.exe
2. C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio
   12.0VCbincvtres.exe

3. C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio
   13.0VCbincvtres.exe

   Then, replace to C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio
   10.0VCbincvtres.exe
   With me, do 3 step it work

I set Enable Incremental Linking to «No (/INCREMENTAL:NO)» and it doesn’t work for me.

Next I’ve changed:

Project Properties 
   -> Configuration Properties 
       -> General
          -> Platform Toolset -> "Visual Studio 2012 (v110)"

and it works for me

I solved this by doing the following:

1. In a command prompt, type msconfig and press enter.
2. Click services tab.
3. Look for «Application Experience» and put tick mark (that is, select this to enable).
4. Click OK. And restart if necessary.

Thus the problem will go forever. Do build randomly and debug your C++ projects without any disturbance.

I tried a few times and finally solved the problem by uninstalling several times the VS2010. I think I hadn’t uninstalled all the files and that’s why it didn’t work for the first time.

In the installation of VS2012, it is said that if you have VS2010 SP1 you can’t work on the same project in both programs. It is recommended to have only one program.

Thanks!
