I figured out how to specify "-sval" using Votive. 0. Check out your Votive setup project from source control 1. Right click on your Votive setup project 2. Click on Linker 3. Select the "Configuration" for which you want to specify -sval 4. Click "Advanced..." 5. On the "Light Advanced Settings" dialog, click the "Suppressions" tab 6. Check "Supress MSI/MSM validation" 7. Click OK 8. Save the file (CTRL-S)
This fixed my immediate LGHT0216 error but I'd still like to solve the underlying issue.
