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

Steven,

I found the problem.

The Debug Directory was included in the project. I don't know how it got
included but it was. I use sourcesafe. I think sourcesafe was checking in the
files as the build put them in the Debug dir. I exculuded the Debug dir and
now I can build.

I get a warning when I build:
WARNING: Two or more objects have the same target location
this may have something to do with it. Any ideas on this warning?


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
