This usually happens when the output file already exists and something has a lock on it. Check to see if abc2.exe is alright running, or of some program has a file lock on it.

You can check whether abc.exe is running using Process Explorer from sysinternals. If that's the case the link step will fail.

Also check the target file is not write-protected.

All the Microsoft tool error codes are documented online - see here for more reasons why you might see LNK1104.
