VS Build Error "Unable to copy file..."

Could it possibly be antivirus software or a search indexer locking the
file? The reason I ask is that I experienced that problem a few years ago
and found it was the antivirus software scanning the file immediately after
it was built.

Hi,

I have an issue with my Visual Studio wich seems to be caused by
Resharper.
Before I post a bugreport I just want to know if other users have this
problem too.

Sometimes I get a build error.

Error 14 Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\xyz.dll" to

A workmate had the same issues when he tested Resharper and the problem
newer raised agein since he uninstalled Resharper.

Hi Greg.

Could it possibly be antivirus software or a search indexer locking the
file? The reason I ask is that I experienced that problem a few years ago

I will give it a try.

However when the error happened again I used process explorer to search for the filehandle.
The result was devenv.exe...

Best regards,
Sven.

I've experienced a similar problem, and also found only devenv.exe when doing a procexp search on that handle.
