Hi there... i got the following error in a couple of projects i now
want to compile for release:

Error executing link.exe.

_____________________________________

after switching linker to /verbose, i found the following entires
*twice* in the same obj-file just before the linker stops:
in one project it is...
[[
Found "protected: virtual int __thiscall CWnd::SetOccDialogInfo(struct
_AFX_OCC_DIALOG_INFO *)"
(?SetOccDialogInfo@CWnd@@MAEHPAU_AFX_OCC_DIALOG_INFO@@@Z)
]]... before the error occures and in the other it is...
[[
Found "protected: virtual void __thiscall CDialog::PreInitDialog(void)"
(?PreInitDialog@CDialog@@MAEXXZ)
]]

i dont even know if i'm right, but... does this mean the linker finds
the same function again (redefined) and breaks linkage? and if i'm
right, how do i solve this? both are functions i dont use directly...i
just derive a class from CDialog and from CWnd and i dont hope i have
to edit microsofts classes ?!?

the error just occures in release, not in debug.

the source for the obj-file producing the 2nd error is (i think)
untouched since creation and rather short (just a class to show some
version-info-dialog) , so i post it:
