Question

I'm porting an some code to VS2013, and ran across a linker error today:

htmlhelp.lib(init.obj) : error LNK2026: module unsafe for SAFESEH image

So, I'm faced with two alternatives: Find an htmlhelp.lib that's compatible, or find an alternative.

Any suggestions on either?

Was it helpful?

Solution

OK, more info is available here on SAFESEH: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9a89h429(v=vs.110).aspx

@HansPassant above pointed out that he couldn't repro, which sent me searching. I had been using the version installed with the ancient HTML Help workshop (ca 1999), and have now linked with the one from the windows SDK C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A which is a bit more modern, and doesn't show the problem.
