The mapinfo linker option has been removed since Visual Studio 2005, so I suppose you have imported a project created with Visual Studio 2003...
To fix your problem open the project properties, and move to the section Linker -> Command Line, and remove the mapinfo option from the Additional options text-box.
If you need the informations generated by the old mapinfo option, set to Yes (/MAP) the option Generate Map File that is under the section Linker -> Debugging
