I have experience programming in C#, but I'm taking a C++ class this semester, and I'm writing my second project, but I keep getting this error when I try to build a debug configuration of my program.
My build log is below, any ideas on what's going on? I'm at a loss.
Thanks everyone!

Microsoft blames antivirus for a similar case.
You should look at the buildlog.htm file that is given in the build output. It will give you more (useful) information about what has happened.
try setting your AV to ignore your project directories instead of VC++ directory.
Project : error PRJ0002 : Error result 31 returned from 'C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe'.
Faced the same issue Cleaning the rebuilding solved it.
I turned off the Microsoft Security Essentials and the problem is gone.
Strange that it only happened for the debug configuration.

I am using VS 2010 express but everytime when I open something in Win32 cosole application or any other projects, I keep getting build error. But everytime I start my new project with Empty Project, it always works well...nothing but Empty Project works. BTW, I coded properly and even used sample Win32 console application source codes and it still gives me an error. Is there something wrong with my computer setting?

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
If you search for LNK1123, you will find that it is very frequently caused by having VS2010 installed along with another version if Visual studio (googling for strange error codes is a useful technique!). If you have this situation, it appears that upgrading VS2010 to service pack 1 will fix it.
Hello everyone i am using VC 2008 c++ and i got some project that isn't mine.
The project rebuilds successfully, but the problem is the project doesn't create all the .lib files that are needed for another project and so i got:
1>------ Build started: Project: application_manager, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>Linking...
1>LINK : warning LNK4224: /OPT:NOWIN98 is no longer supported; ignored

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
this project already has tinyxml_stl.lib, but the tinyxml project doesn't build a new one so i got this error how to fix this error?
The error is caused by tinyxml_stl.lib being compiled using an older version of the compiler than you are using to compile application_manager
Since your tinylib project no longer creates this file as output I assume that this is simply the result of the previous developer leaving you with a mess of files. If you change your application_manager to link to the correct binaries created by tinyxml and remove the link to tinyxml_stl.lib you should be able to compile.

I found sample called "Creating a COM Server Using a Text Editor" in MSDN.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2wad1c0e(v=vs.71).aspx
It compiles fine from command promt, but not from Visual Studio IDE.
I decided to move this project to Visual Studio.
I have created new project (File>>New>>Project>>Empty project) and add MyServer.cpp file to "Source Files" and MyIncludes.h to Header Files. I got following error after I tried to build project:
1>------ Build started: Project: Myserver, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

How to solve this problem?
The translation errors told you need a entry function in an EXE module.
you must define a main(...) function as the entry, otherwise is an invalid EXE since there is no startup point.
Simply, you can create an console window project for IDE, or just add main(...) manually as I said.
I am building a simple program on VS 11 Professional beta edition.
#include <iostream>
int main(){
std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
}
But I am getting RC errors.

If I just compile the source file alone (i.e., not building the project), it compiles. I googled on this error but didn't find much useful information. I have seen the compiler and linker properties. No, where -ologo option is seen. I amn't sure where this invalid option is coming from.
I have VS 2005, 2010 installed on my system. Does this has anything to do with this error ? Any help is aprreciated.
Go to project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> General. Change the platform toolset to the correct toolset you are using. Or just change Suppress Startup Banner to 'no'.
If you are migrating your sourcecode from 32-bit to 64-bit platform and you encounter this error during build, do the following:
Select your Project on the Solutions explorer.
From menu, select Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->VC++ Directories
On "Executable Directories", check if "$(WindowsSdkDir)\bin" exist -
Check first what is "WindowsSdkDir" by clicking the down arror->edit->click "Macros" button and see where it is pointing...
Usually it is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin"
Check if there are executable files under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin"
If none, then there could be folders under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin"
Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86" and check if "RC.exe" exist
If "RC.exe" exist then go back to Step 1, Step 2.
On "Executable Directories", change "$(WindowsSdkDir)\bin" to "$(WindowsSdkDir)\bin\x86"
Click "Apply" then "Ok" button.
Rebuild your project and that should solve your problem.
Well, I just got the new MSVS 2010 Beta 1, and just like with 2008 express, I just can't figure out how to compile anything, not even a simple hello world program. Anyone have any pointers? I usually just get a blanket fail message. No real information.
Edit: Sorry about that
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
main()
{
cout << "hello world";
return 0;
}
I go to build and I get:

Edit #2. How exactly would I go about changing it to multibyte?
That's a well known problem with VS10 Beta. You need to change the default encoding to Multibyte from Unicode to make it work.
int main() maybe ?
Try also changing the destination of the project to something simpler and not that long since I believe I also had the same error when the destination was too long.
Also did you choose a console application when creating the project?
If that didn't help, google gave this as possible answers too :
"You could try going to your
project's Properties > Configuration
Properties > Manifest Tool > Input
and Output, and set your "Embed
Manifest" option to "No"."
"I had a similar problem like this a
few months ago and I solved it by
going to project -> properties ->
Configuration Properties -> General
-> Character set. Under character set I changed it to Use Multi-Byte
Character Set and then my compliment
issue went away."
Edit:
In regard to the latest error link here directly from microsoft. I'm afraid that from this point on it's google time as I'm all out of ideas if it doesn't work.
The link says : "As a workaround for Beta1 you can change the entry point to use "wmain" instead of "main" or change the character set of your project to use "Multi-Byte Character Set""
Easiest would be to just change the name of main to wmain then.
Ok, I got it to compile using a win32 console ap, changing to Multibyte, and using the following code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
Now to try to figure something else out. I'm not used to VS so...
Thanks everyone.
