VS2013: Edit and Continue no longer works since upgrading from VS2008

I just upgraded my fairly large MFC application from VS2008 to VS2013. After some minor tweaks (specify /SAFESH:No, WINVER=0x0601) everything works except Edit and Continue, which worked brilliantly under VS2008. InVS2013, even if I just add a comment line, it recompiles, says "Done", and then throws out the following message:

Edit and Continue : error 1006 : A global or static variable was added, renamed, removed, or changed data type or initialization: ___ImageBase (referenced by: c:\temp\process\debug\jlglob.obj)

Clearly I have not changed a global variable. I have scoured the web and checked the following things, which have not helped:
- disabled all optimisation
- set "Program Database for Edit and Continue /ZI"
- not using Precompiled Headers
- /SAFESH:NO
- Platform Toolset - Visual Studio 2013 (v120)
- deleted all intermediate file directories, including .tlog files
- enable Native EnC, as in VS2008

Any ideas anyone? This is very frustrating!!

Have you tried the Microsoft forums?

No - have never used them. I should probably give that a go... thanks for the tip..

Delete all database files in the solution dir in the Recycle bin.

I suggest that you use the stdafx.h!!!

I completely deleted all the build directories (again) and emptied the recycle bin. There isn't a lot I can easily do with stdafx.h, and not sure why it should make a difference especially as I am not using precompiled headers (it's on the to do list!). Well, unfortunately it didn't make any difference...

in the stdafx.h belongs all Microsoft or fix stuff like math or constants.

The stdafx.h should be included in all source files in which you do EnC.

Do you link own libs in the app?

I always wondered who used edit/continue. I personally wouldn't spend that much time on such a trivial feature.

horses for courses - we have a 64bit only product, i develop/build/test it in 32bit *specifically* for E&C

Sounds like a pain in the rear
