Microsoft Visual C ++ not responding when creating a project
2 answers
In the project properties under the Linker tab, set the / VERBOSE flag and this can help you see what it is loading and where it is choking. Be prepared to kill the task (having a task manager in the foreground before launching would be smart.) Also be prepared, because the / VERBOSE flag can trigger a lot! withdrawal. But your answer is probably in there somewhere.
Other things to check: you might have a lock on the output file. If you are trying to link an executable to a part of the program that you are already using, it might hang on you (although I think it would rather give you some kind of "do not delete" error.)
