Makeimg not copying project files to FLATRELEASEDIR

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi All,

I am working with PB 5.0 on an XP Pro - SP2 machine.

I recently lost the ability to make a change in Project.reg, launch Makeimg
(Make Run-Time Image) and see my change in the freshly generated
reginit.ini.

As a temporary workaround, I added a Custom Build Action to my Project
Settings in order to enforce the copy of the Project files in the Pre-Make
Image step:

copy %_PROJECTOAKROOT%\files\project.* %_FLATRELEASEDIR%

Looking at the output, I discovered that there was a file access issue:

makeimg: run command: cmd /C C:\WINCE500\public\common\oak\misc\pbpremakeimg

In english, the offending message states that "The process can't access the
file because this file is used by another process". Of course, I am unable
to see what other process could be accessing my Project files.

If I then "touch" the files with Platform Builder (i.e. forcing PB to write
them to the disk), the copy works, until the next boot...

Any hints and sugestions are welcome.

Remi
