Hi Jerry,

From your description, you're encountering "unable to copy file ... .access
denied..." error when try building a windows service project, correct?

Yes, there does existing many such issues on the web. So far I've found a
certain public bug entry related to this issue. Before you take look at
that, I'd like to confirm some further things of your project:

** it the service app used(configured in windows Service manager) when you
developing it or any other application may lock the exe
** is the service project referencing any other reference assemblies(in the
same solution or external ones) which may get locked?

if the problem is the solution/project self specific, you should be able to
get rid of it by close and reopen the solution.

here is the public bug entry which mentioend a issue when the project has
some certain resx file that has referenced an external assembly's
type(which get locked). You may have a look to see whether it helps.

I am getting the message above when I try to build a Windows Services
project
in debug configuration . The path is the debug dir placed in the project
by
VS.

The project will build in the release configuration. Is there any
information on this.
I found lots of posts about but none of the "Fixes" worked.
