How to resolve fatal error LNK1000: Internal error during IncrBuildImage?

Question

I am trying to recompile solution file for memcached project on Windows 7 64 bit with Visual Studio 2008 and got the following error:

1>LINK : fatal error         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar error when compiling an unreal-engine4 v4.23 game on Windows 10 with VS 2017 Community Edition. The solution was just to update to the latest version of visual-studio, as the subsequent patches included a fix for this. I am currently at v15.9.18 and it's compiling without this error.

No need to reboot or install any particular hotfixes, just the standard updates.
