SUMMARY
The following warning was introduced in the linker shipped with Visual
Studio 97 Service Pack 3:
Warning LNK4108:
/ALIGN specified without /DRIVER or /VXD; image may not run
MORE INFORMATION
The /ALIGN option has been specified without also specifying either the
/DRIVER or /VXD option.
Bad alignment can prevent the operating system from loading the final
image. Do not use the /ALIGN option unless building a driver or virtual
device driver (VxD).
This warning occurs even when you specify the documented default value for
the /ALIGN option.
You might see this warning when you use the linker included with Visual
Studio 97 Service Pack 3 to build a makefile created in a Visual C++ 4.x
project because the Win32.mak supplied with Visual C++ 4.x contains the
/ALIGN switch.
