title: VS2010 error : LNK1181 : cannot open input file xxxx.obj (only in debug mode)
body: <p>I am using visual Studio 2010, trying to build a big solution having many VC++ projects converted from older Visual Studio builds. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is, it gives me this LNK1181 for the 'root' project of the solution (the project on which all other projects are dependent) but only in DEBUG mode (win32). In release mode, it does not give me this error. </p>
  
  <p>I noticed that this obj file is actually not created at all when in debug mode. Though the compiler doesn't give any error when it is building that cpp file. </p>
  
  <p>What could be the problem? Is it related to those property manager sheets too somehow or something else? </p>
  
  <p>The project is downloaded from our Source Control System directly, and works fine on other machines so there is something wrong on mine :(. </p>
