问题
I get this error: fatal error LNK1201: error writing to program database every time I edit my code and build again in visual studio 2003.
The issue is resolved if I restart VS2003 but I need to do this every time i build the project.
I have been googling and stackoverflowing ;) for a few hours and have tried the following proposed solution:
Change the Debug Information Format from Zi to Z7. (Property -> C/C++ -> General -> Debug Information Format)
This did not work
Change Visual Studio Compatibility Mode to Windows XP SP3
This did not work
Add the following in the Pre-Build Event :
net stop "Machine Debug Manager" net start "Machine Debug Manager"This produced the following error:
System Error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.This could be because I do not have Admin Access on this machine.I have not tried this one because I am not allowed to download untrusted code at my work. Run FreePDB.cmd posted by Tony76 here
Changed the Symbol Path as seen here:
This did not work
What I know:
This error could occur if the pdb file exceeds 1GB but mine is only 10MB.
My limitations:
- I do not have Admin Access on this computer
- Cannot run untrusted software (Work Computer)
回答1:
Had similar problem on Windows 10. This answer provides a solution using a tool called FreePDB. Worked for VS2003.NET, but apparently this solution works for multiple versions of Visual Studio.
回答2:
I use a program called LockHunter to unlock the PDB file. This works, though from time-to-time if stops successfully unlocking (or recognizing that the PDB file is locked) and I have to restart my PC
