MSB6001 Invalid command line switch for "link.exe"

Question

I import functions from my dll everything worked fine until I wanted to use a def file. Now I get this error: MSB6001 Invalid command line switch for "link.exe". System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.

I used to get LNK1104 error but after I used collons in my Additional Dependencies I get the error above.

Post-Build Events > Command Line here I got the following: xcopy /y /d "..\..\HookLibrary\$(IntDir)HookLibrary.dll" "$(OutDir)"

Additional depencies: "HookLibrary.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)"

My additional dependecies are correct. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Use semicolons ; to separate files in Additional Dependencies or better select <Edit...> and fill dependecies line by line.

Linker command line can be verified under Linker->Command Line.
