========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========Migrating to Visual studio 2010 (wtf error)
Author
I just installed Visual studio 2010 and is in the process of migrating my project, but I can't compile. In fact I can't compile anything at all.
It seems to get the filenames all wrong:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ÿþ/.obj'
I reinstalled Visual studio, picked default settings and created a vanilla Visual C++ project. I added a single file: test.cpp and tried to compile, but get the same error.
This is the output. Any ideas? Google turned up nothing.
What does the project file look like if you open it in a text editor? Is it gibberish too, or is there text there? And is it ANSI or Unicode?

Project file looks fine. I made a new project from scratch in 2010 and got the same error.
Is it possible that is some language related problem? What is your computer set to, for language and regional settings?
I've seen this occur with a 360/PC project when the PC compiler was accidentally called to compile a 360 project.
Other Google results for that exact error seem to indicate that it's a problem with having multiple versions of the linker.
Did you upgrade from a VS2010 beta or RC? If so, you should see if there's some kind of registry-cleaning tool you can find for it to TOTALLY remove it.

I installed it from disc. I have VS2005 and 2008 installed on the same machine. I uninstalled 2005, but the problem remained. Do I really have to uninstall 2008 as well? I'm reluctant to do that until I know for sure that 2010 can replace it.

You can have multiple versions of VS installed on same system and it's officially supported. I have VS2008 and VS2010 installed on my main PC right now without any problems. What does seem to cause problems though is if you ever installed beta or rc versions of VS and didn't uninstall them completely and try to install RTM version then that seems to cause problems.

Ah, I see. I did install the Beta before. I think that I uninstalled it, but now that I think about it I'm not so sure. I will investigate.
