INFO: LNK4108: /ALIGN Specified Without /DRIVER or /VXD;

• The Linker (LINK.EXE), included with:
  • Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 5.0sp3

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.
