Conversion from vc6 to vc7 linker issue

Martin

When I convert a program from VC6 to VC7 I get the
following linker error:

CVTRES : fatal error CVT1100: duplicate resource.
type:STRING, name:1686, language:0x0409
LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to
COFF: file invalid or corrupt

Duplicate resource...no problem! Except that I cannot
find that value anywhere!! No such string resource
exists. Here's the full linker output with some verbose
turned on:

I've searched my entire harddrive for the 1686 value,
WM+USER + <value>, etc. to find this string resource, but
to no avail. Any assistance would be much appreciated!
