Link Error LNK1209

[dahill]

I get link error LNK1209 no matter how many times i retry. The .pdb file is there and updated. I've even tried replacing the LINK.EXE, DUMPBIN.EXE, EDITBIN.EXE and LIB.EXE files in the VC98 bin folder (I'm using Visual Studio 6). dahill

Did you try doing a "Rebuild All"? Doing that usually fixes things.

Try a 'Full build' of your project. A build or link error is not an error of your compiler! Dont replace your binary Visual Studio files.

Delete the 'Release' and 'Debug' folder and then perform a 'Rebuild All' on your application. Hope this helps... Vini

Thanks for the input gentlemen- I have "rebuilt all" with no success. This link error reads, ".pdp differs from previous link; relink or rebuild" and (for me) only occurs in the DEBUG configuration. -dahill -- modified at 16:02 Tuesday 28th February, 2006

I have just found a similar LNK1209 problem posted in March, 2004 by "melwyn". Ominously, he didn't appear to get an answer (from the Message Board). -dahill -- modified at 17:36 Tuesday 28th February, 2006

Based on a solution attributed to "melwyn" on http://www.codecomments.com/archive307-2004-3-160471.html I was able to get rid of LNK1209. I ended up using file version 6.0.8160.0 of MSPDB60.DLL in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin. For some reason file version 6.20.9351.0 of mspdb60.dll cut from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin brought the link error with it. -dahill
