VS C++ 2010 LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF

[sharkcoder]

I am working on project and have this error how do I fix it ?

Someone suggested removing this #include "stdafx.h" ,but this creates more issues

 // projone.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
double weight;
double height;
cout <<"Enter your weight in pounds :";
cin >> weight;
cout << endl;
cout <<"Enter your height in inches :";
cin >> height;
cout << endl;
cout <<"Weight is given by " << weight << endl;
cout <<"Height is given by " << height << endl;
double bmi = ( weight * 703 ) / ( height * height );
if (bmi < 18.5)
cout << " Underweight " << endl;
else if(bmi < 25)
cout << " Normal " << endl;
else if(bmi < 30)
cout << " Overweight " << endl;
else 
cout << " Obese " << endl; 
return 0;
}

I never said remove it, I told you to create the correct type of project. It looks like you have not created a console application project because if you had then you wouldnt have that include.

Seems to work OK without the stdafx.h. Here's your code without that header include.

Have you tried cutting and pasting your code into a completely new Console project?

You are creating the wrong type of project, create a console project and copy/paste the code (without the stdafx include) and recompile. You were already helped regarding this issue in this thread: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/136020/#msg724625

Nothing to do with the type of project you create.

Contrary to (apparently) popular belief, precompiled headers may be used with console projects.
