CAUSE

This problem occurs because the linker does not correctly handle all the unique exports.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, move all the common header files that you can to the Stdafx.h include file so that they are included in the precompiled header file. You will not receive an error message and your build time will be greatly reduced.
