Q183197

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 4.2
 * Microsoft HTML Help, versions 1.21, 1.3

SYMPTOMS
When you build a Visual C++ 4.x application that uses the HTML Help API, you get the following link error:

Link Error "Htmlhelp.lib(init.obj):fatal error lnk1103: debugging information corrupt; recompile module"

CAUSE
This error occurs with Visual C++ 4.x when the application is linked with htmlhelp.lib.

RESOLUTION
Link with Hhctrl.lib instead of Htmlhelp.lib. Both of these files can be found in the \Lib directory. Or upgrade to Visual C++ 5.0 or greater.

STATUS
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 for Windows.
