Problem :

I have recently installed the Visual Studio 2012 Release Preview, and it works fine, however now when I want to use Visual Studio 2010 to compile my C++ projects, I am facing below error message:

LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

I have also tried repairing my Visual Studio 2010 by using Add/Remove programs and after that rebooting however no change.

I also face the same error if I try to use Visual Studio 2012 RC to compile my C++ projects whenever I try to use the Visual Studio 2010 toolset.

I have also tried to uninstall my Visual Studio 2012 and rebooted my box but the problem still persists!.

Does anyone has any solution on it.
