link.exe issue on windows 11 #7
Description
I am getting this error even when I run it through the developer command prompt. How can I fix this? I have VS 2022 installed. (The one that comes with rust by default)
Compiling typenum v1.18.0
Compiling windows_x86_64_msvc v0.53.0
Compiling autocfg v1.5.0
error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1181
