installation error

Expand Post »
Hi!

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what may be wrong in my installing process or in my compiler...

I was installing Visual Studio 6.0 C++ and everything went well until I started compiling and this is what it shows:

--------------------Configuration: try - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\LIB\uuid.lib : fatal error LNK1113: invalid machine type
Error executing link.exe.

try.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


does anyone knows how to remedy this problem?

thank you!

Re: installation error

Do you have a 64-bit machine?

Have you tried to restart Visual Studio and build again your solution?

Also, I know that a "Clean Solution / Rebuild Solution" solves a lot of problems.

You can click on the error message and press F1. If you're lucky, that will lead you to more info on the error. And also, Google is your friend!

Re: installation error

Maybe you have a specific setting, a flag or something. Check this page:

Don't forget that a re-install may solve the problem.

Re: installation error

If you're using Windows Vista, it might be a better idea to use one of Microsoft's free available Express Editions, otherwise reinstalling the application might fix the problem ...

Re: installation error

See this address for the express edition, I recommend it instead of VC++ 6.0:

Re: installation error

Have you created a new project or have you just opened the file? Opening the file only prevents you from building the executable. You must create a project.
