Problem related to building JDK in Windows

[Volker Simonis]

This is a known problem with VS2010 after installing VS2012 or .NET
4.5.1. There exist various workarounds - just google for "LINK : fatal
error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid".

The easiest and fastes solution is to remove the bad version of
"cvtres.exe" which is causing the problem as explained in the second answer
at the stackowerflow question

Volker
