Repository of C++ code that was compiling and running, now has compile error and run time errors

Hello All, I need help. Badly!

We have a Mercurial repo that keeps out source code for the last year. Yesterday, and error popped up when compiling one of the solutions (see compile_error.jpg). I then ran other projects from that same solution that did compile, and I get the runtime error seen in the file runtime_error.jpg. I then went back to a repo from September 2016, and I get the exact same compile time and runtime errors.

I have tried this on 4 systems. All four systems are Windows Pro 64 bit. I'm using VS2013 C++.

I don't suspect the code itself nor the repository. I'm thinking a Windows 7 update, or a VS update, or ???

Please help. I need ideas.

Thanks, Brian

Hi BrianDumas,

MSDN tells about the error MSBuild Error MSB8011: "Failed to register output. Please try enabling Per-user Redirection or register the component from a command prompt with elevated permissions."

You should check your project's linker->Generel options, I guess the option Register Output is set to Yes - if so you should set the next option Per-user redirection to Yes too.

If this doesn't help you should check the possible solution shown at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10477117/solving-error-msb8011-failed-to-register-output

Hope this helps,

Hello ZOPPO,

I've tried that, and even though is gets rid of the compile error, It then ends up having the same run time error.
