Solution 1

I think you probably need to set "Precompiled Header" to "Not Using Precompiled Headers", in your compile options. You should then do a complete rebuild.

Solution 2

A rebuild is mostly what is needed. This error is not necessarily related to using precompiled headers or not, even though the error indicates the file is stdafx.obj.

Solution 3

There are a number of reasons that can give LNK1104 error. See MSDN documentation for a list and make sure you don't have any one of those cases.
