Title: Compiler Error MSB6006
Post by: Geheim on June 17, 2013, 04:25:54 pm

Hey guys,
I have a compiler error since some days, but I have the feeling that it now occurs more often and it is really annoying...

Thats the error

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(611,5): error MSB6006: "link.exe" wurde mit dem Code -1073741819 beendet.

I have to compile the project 5 times sometimes, to compile it successfully, which is really annoying.
I use VS 2012 Ultimate, if this is important. I searched a bit and some others have similar problems and they just re-installed the compiler, is this what I have to do too?

Greetings Geheim!

Sounds really odd and more like indeed some bug in the compiler. Have you tried cleaning your project, then recompiling from scratch? If that doesn't help, reinstalling might be your best bet.

Wow I tried to build the latest version of SFML today and because of this error it didn't let me compile it...
I repaired it one more time, still no change, then I deinstalled everything again and installed it, still no change. Then I thought, maybe this is caused by the Ultimate version of VS (I know why should it, but it could be...), so I deinstalled again and tried the express version, and guess what, it did not work again.....

A friend then just opened VS as admin, and this really seems to work, I was just --->  >:( :o :(
So if anybody has an error with some sort of MSB, (linker, rc, cmd...), just try to run it as admin, in my case, for whatever reason, it works ...

EDIT: The errors still appears from time to time, really really annoying!!! :///

Hi :)
I'm glad you found a temporary solution, and shared it with us!
But, did you try to just use another compiler inside VS2012?
This MIGHT help.. If you like, give it a shot :)
