BUG: LINK Creates Zero-Size File if Insufficient Disk Space
PSS ID Number: 116305
Article Last Modified on 9/30/2003
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft LINK for MS-DOS 5.5
This article was previously published under Q116305
SYMPTOMS
Attempting to link an executable file and place the resulting file on a
disk that does not have enough free space available causes Microsoft LINK
to create an executable file with a size of 0 bytes. LINK does not issue
any warnings or error messages when this happens.
RESOLUTION
Make sure there is enough available space on the target disk for the
executable file being built.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Visual C++ for Windows,
versions 1.0 and 1.5. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
This is not a problem in Visual C++ 32-bit Edition.
