At long last I finally begin to build a app for distribution for my coworkers. However during the setup wizard it states it is unable to remove the temp file from the release folder. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do about this? I have tried it several times and tried deleting the temp file with no sucess......
 
More information on this problem. Any help is greatly apprecaited!Went to go build my app built in vb.net. I used the visual studio.net
enterprise edition Setup Wizard for a windows app. I amn running Win XP Pro.
It continually bombs out
as it says:

Unrecoverable Build Error

Nothing Else.
Then I try to rebuild it it says:

Cannot remove output file
C:\folderlocation\myname\Desktop\programname\programnamesetup\Release\progra
mnameSetup.tmp

I clicked on help and here is where it gets weird. The one that applied to
me here was:

a.. If the Output file name specifies a root directory or a special folder,
make sure that the file is not marked read-only.

Mine was. So I changed it to not be readonly by unchecking the box. I also
went to online help where it told me to make sure adepquate permissions were
set up for the visual studio to access my program to write this file. Then I
rebooted. When it came back, that folder (the app was in) was again marked
read only. I changed it back to what it should be but the same process
repeated itself(the errors.) I am at wits end and would appreciate any help
anyone might be able to give.I am kind of under a deadline on this.
My references are: adodb, excel, Microsoft.Office.Core, System, System.Data,
System.Drawing, System.Web.Services, System.Windows.Forms, System.XML,
VBIDE. I am sorry for being wordy but am very worried
right now I am not going to be able to pull this off.
 
Hi thinker thanks for responding. THis file appears ot be created by visual studio during the build process. It then is attempting to remove the file and it says it cannot.
It would be located in the C:\Documents and Settings\Kelly Martens.KELLY\Desktop\progrgramname\ProgramName Setup\Release\setupname.tmp
If you or anyone else have remote assistance that can help please let me know.....
 
I tried deleting it by the way and unless I close the solution it says another program or process is using it which I assume to be VS. Then I close it down, delete the file and do it again with the same errors.
The file does not exist at the beginning of the creation of the setup. It is created by VS during the process.
 
problem was fixed by reinstalling. Just in case someone else runs into this issue.
