  : Why does VS2008 display this error despite a successful compilation
  : of code..
  :
  : Error 1 fatal error LNK1105: cannot close file
  : 'd:vs2008win32projectDebugwin32project.exe' win32project win32pro
  : ject
  :
  :
  : How does one close the EXE file to avoid this error being generated?
  :
  Clean out your debug directory, reboot the machine, and try again.
  
  It could be either a version of the program still running in the background, or something funny with an existing file in the directory.
  It is unlikely to be a common internal error that means you can never write an executable, or Microsoft would have caught it early on.

  :I wish that were a version of the program still running in the background but it doesn't seem to be so. This happens irrespective of whether I have written a console application or a Win32 one. I am confident that this is no internal error but rather something happening at my end. I cannot even run the program using Ctrl + F5 without this error being generated. To still manage to run an EXE I have to first Rebuild the project and then go in for Ctrl+F5. Rather annoying hence this post. Hope somebody can clear this mess for me.

  [color=Blue]Usually Google for an error code. If you do it using "LNK1105" - you get this:

  Seems unconnected... how does inability to close a file affected by a disk full condition?!! but check it anyway.[/color]
