RE: Unable to copy file. ... Access to the path ... is denied.

Steven,
Thank you for your reply.

To answer your questions.

The app is a stand aloan application all the dll's are in the bin dir and
not used by any other app.

The error:
Error 1 Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\CDInvoiceDropWatcher.pdb" to
"bin\Debug\CDInvoiceDropWatcher.pdb". Access to the path
'bin\Debug\CDInvoiceDropWatcher.pdb' is denied. CDInvoiceDropWatcher

occurs all the time. Opening and then closing the vs2005 does not work.
The error is only an example of the errors. There are many others that occur
with many of the files in the project. As you see this is a .pdb file in the
debug dir. When I change the project build to Releace the problem is gone.
The Error can be on .exe, .dll and anyother file that is placed in the Debug
Dir.

If there is a resx file that has referenced an external assembly's the
references are put in by VS2005 I do not use the resx files.

Thank you,

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.



Jerry
