I am compiling a bigger VB.NET project using VS2012.
Randomly, but very often after having run my project in Debug Mode, I get the error
"The output file <mypathhere> could not be written. Permission denied."
I have also tried using MSBUILD to give me more details about this error, but it didn't help. Also, I have tried disabling the Hosting option because I thought that this might be the cause, but it wasn't.
I used ProcessExplorer to find out which process might have locked my file, but it didn't show anything.
Does anybody have any more ideas?
When I try to set the application's output folder to not-writeprotected using the Windows properties dialog, I get the "Changing attributes denied. Permission denied." error on the output file.
The solution is to activate the Application Experience service in Windows. This is a known MS bug.
