Dammit, why do people seem to refuse to read MSDN?  You get a copy with
Visual C++, look in it for the error message.

Following is copyright Microsoft Corporation, apologies to them if they
don't like me posting it:

-----

Linker Tools Error LNK1106
invalid file or disk full: cannot seek to location

The tool could not read or write to location in a memory-mapped file.

Tips

Your disk may be too full to complete the link. Free up some space and
try the link again.


The error may be a result of trying to link over a network. Some
networks do not fully support the memory-mapped files used by the
linker. Try linking on your local disk to see if that fixes the problem.


There may be a bad block on your disk. Although the operating system and
disk hardware should have detected such an error, you may want to run a
disk checking program.

Make sure you're not doing any of the above, then try again.  If it
still fails, let us know.
