Linker Tools Error LNK1245

  • Article

invalid subsystem 'subsystem' specified; /SUBSYSTEM must be WINDOWS, WINDOWSCE, or CONSOLE

/clr was used to compile the object and one of the following conditions was true:

  • A custom entry point was defined (/ENTRY), such that, the linker could not infer a subsystem.

  • A value was passed to the /SUBSYSTEM linker option that is not valid for /clr objects.

For both situations, the resolution is to specify a valid value to the /SUBSYSTEM linker option.
