Whenever I try to compile my C# project inside or outside of Visual Studio, I get this error:

"lc.exe" exited with code -1073741819

The executable lc.exe exists on my system under Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs.

I tried:

  • Updating Visual Studio
  • Cleaning and rebuilding the solution
  • Removing then re-applying the project builds under Solution > Properties.

Nothing has helped. What else can I try?

I found the solution. In my case, there was a licenses.licx file in the Properties folder of the solution. I needed to find this file in Visual Studio, right-click, and Exclude from Project. (Note that deleting the file using file explorer did not work).

Then I was successfully able to rebuild the solution in Visual Studio or using the cmd line.

Just had the issue today. In my case the workaround was to run Visual Studio as administrator.
