   VC Express 2008 and MT.exe troubles
  I just tried to build a project as a release instead of debug. The code compiles fine, but during linking MT.exe shuts down and the app will not link. Everything works smoothly when I build as debug.This has never happened before and I'm not sure why. There is a well known error with MT.exe and VC C++, but this isn't it. Google didn't turn up anything.Has anyone experienced this before?
