I am building two solutions with MSBuild:
<ItemGroup>
<SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/HostASPX/SolutionA.sln"/>
<SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../Installer/SolutionB.sln"/>
</ItemGroup>
It seems that this build fails with the error message:
Unable to remove directory "c:\TeamBuild\Team Solutions\Solution\Binaries". The directory is not empty.
It appears that MSBuild creates this 'Binaries' directory by default and the build passes. When I build again the build fails with the above message. If I try a 3rd build.. it works again.
Can someone tell me how to ensure that his folder is deleted/overwritten each time?
You sure there isn't an observer effect at play? i.e., something isn't locking the directory like explorer.exe :P
You can rule it out by using \\live.sysinternals.com\procmon.exe (to find out who is doing what to the dir) and procexp (to find out who is locking it).
