How can I eliminate the following error. LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

Using R2015b 32-bit MATLAB Compiler SDK to create Generic COM Component.

I receive the following error at the end of the attached log file.

LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

The C compiler being used is identified in the log file as follows.

... Looking for compiler 'Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (C++)' ...

... Looking for registry setting 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1' InstallationFolder ...Yes ('C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\').

... Looking for registry setting 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VC7' 10.0 ...Yes ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\').

... Looking for file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe' ...Yes.

... Looking for folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0' ...Yes.

Found installed compiler 'Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (C++)'.

The latest Microsoft .NET Framework is Framework 4 Multi-pack (I saw that .NET framework 4.5 had caused this kind of error for someone else.).

Hi Pius,

This is an issue due to VS 2012, VS 2010 and Microsoft. This issue can be resolved either by upgrading VS 2010 to VS 2010 SP1 or by disabling the incremental linking in Visual Studio as follows

Project Properties > Configuration Properties > Linker > Enable Incremental Linking > No
