Visual Build professional compile errors?

Question

I am using visual build professional and one of the steps is a 'Make VS 2003' (c++ project). However, every time I get the following error:

fatal error C1033: cannot open program database ''

If I compile the project myself in visual studios it works fine.

Anyone know why this would be, or how I can fix it?

Answer 1

I think I have gotten that error in the past when I have an old .pdb file (or one that was somehow corrupted). If so, the error message should indicate which file it is. You should be able to manually delete that file. I think it has often been vc60.pdb.

There is also some information about this error on msdn.
