LNK2022 metadata operation: Inconsistent layout information in duplicated types

Question

I\'m having a new-to-me linker error in a project I\'m working with:

1>MSVCMRTD.lib(locale0_implib.obj) : error LNK2022: metadata operation failed (801311         


        

Answer 1

Seems like my Visual Studio was in some broken state. I was the only one getting that error. I had no changes. I recheck out the project on the side and it was fixed. Maybe it was a problem with my user files.
