LNK1104 intermittantly when building

Occasionally when rebuilding a C++ project with map file requested I get the following error:

LinkEmbedManifest:
3>     Creating library C:\projects\MYSolution\Windows\Debug\MYProject.lib and object C:\projects\MYSolution\Windows\Debug\MYProject.exp
3>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\projects\MYSolution\Windows\Debug\MYProject.map'
3>
3>Build FAILED.

Deleting the map file and rebuilding fixes the problem.

Thank you for reporting this issue. This is now fixed and should be shipped in a future release. Meanwhile, disabling incremental linking should prevent the error in most cases.
