Re: Makeimg not copying project files to FLATRELEASEDIR

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

One thing to clear up (you probably already know), makeimg is not
responsible for doing the copy. That job belongs to buildrel. You need to
either run that step manually, or check the menu item so it happens
automatically. Make sure that process is happening instead of relying on
the batch file, see if it gets you anywhere.

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

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.
