linker error LNK1109

Question

i tried to compile the ACE 5.6.1 library with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SP1. This project contains 609 subprojects. And everytime I try to rebuild them all, some, not the same, will not compile and exit with the following error LNK1109. I am sure, non of the descripte resons are matching in my case. So what else could it be?

As a workaround, I just pressed "build" and as a result it looks like that it worked (the missing subprojects now will be build). So my other question is, are the result the same as a successfully rebuild in the first place? So I can ensure, that no file is corrupt? And why is it working now?

I tried already reducing the amount of parallel builds, didn't matter if I select one or four.

I've seen similar issues in the past caused by virus checkers holding open files. Although I've not seen that recently it might be worth checking?
