Question

I am building a simple program on VS 11 Professional beta edition.

#include <iostream>
int main(){
    std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
}

But I am getting RC errors.

1>------ Build started: Project: Stephen, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Build started 5/23/2012 8:31:30 PM.
1>InitializeBuildStatus:
1>  Touching "Debug\Stephen.unsuccessfulbuild".
1>ClCompile:

1>RC : fatal error RC1106: invalid option: -ologo

1>
1>Build FAILED.
1>
1>Time Elapsed 00:00:01.67
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

If I just compile the source file alone (i.e., not building the project), it compiles. I googled on this error but didn’t find much useful information. I have seen the compiler and linker properties. No, where -ologo option is seen. I amn’t sure where this invalid option is coming from.

I have VS 2005, 2010 installed on my system. Does this has anything to do with this error ? Any help is aprreciated.

Go to project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> General. Change the platform toolset to the correct toolset you are using. Or just change Suppress Startup Banner to ‘no’.
