Fatal Error C1853: (filename) precompiled header file is from a previous version of the compiler

Question

Full message: Fatal Error C1853: (filename) precompiled header file is from a previous version of the compiler, or the precompiled header is C++ and you are using it from C (or vice versa)

Answer 1

Possible causes and solutions:

• The precompiled header was compiled with a previous compiler version. Try recompiling the header with the current compiler.
• The precompiled header is C++ and you are using it from C. Try recompiling the header for use with C by specifying one of the /Tc compiler options, or changing the suffix of the source file to c.
