2nd request - New install of VS2010Ex fails to compile

[EDN Admin]

This is my second request for help on this problem. It occurs on my VS2012Ex and my NEW install of VS2010Ex.
I first installed VS2012Ex, but because of its lack of WinCLI templates I decided to install VS2010Ex Cpp.
Im running Win7. I installed VS from the Admin account, I am an admin as well.
Having touched of changed ANYTHING I simply opens the newly installed VS2010Ex Cpp and selected
create a new Win32 Console app. After a few moments it created a simple Cpp app with this code
(created by the system, NOT me)...
// test_first_01.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
return 0;
}
I then just told the system to debug compile this simple code. It FAILED!
1>------ Build started: Project: test_first_01, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Then it generated an error msg box...
...Unable to start program....... mydirstest_first_01.exe""
"The system cannot find the file specified"
====================
Now I am simply TESTING whether it can go through the simple compile process AFTER
installation, and it wont work.
I dont understand, and I would appreciate some assistance fixing this issue. I submitted
a BUG report to MS and because it VS2010, it received a were sorry your product is no longer
supported responce.
Here is the build log...
