Error in premake generated linker command for (at least) visual studio 2010 express

There seems to be an error when generating VS2010 projects from premake, even with the "Hello World" example (Also tried with clink (here) and premake itself)

hello.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
   puts("Hello, word!");
   return 0;
}

premake4.lua

-- premake4.lua
solution "HelloWorld"
   configurations "Any"
project "HelloWorld"
   kind "ConsoleApp"
   language "C"
   files "*.c"
   defines { "DEBUG" }
   flags { "Symbols" }

This simple example fails to link with the message "LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt"

The logfile says:

SOLVED!! It was an error in my pristine VS2010 install!! See

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/d10adba0-e082-494a-bb16-2bfc039faa80/vs2012-rc-installation-breaks-vs2010-c-projects?forum=vssetup

Although i never installed anything but VS2010 ..

SOLUTION: From this page: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2011/04/01/visual-c-2010-sp1-compiler-update-for-the-windows-sdk-7-1.aspx

Copy c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\ cvtres.exe (42Kb)

into Programs(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\Bin\
