Problem: Cannot complete a build - files cannot be copied

Post by jbsound »

I'm having a problem with finishing a sucessful build. The Build Progress always stops with an error stating:

Error during build: Unable to copy file to [file path]

This is on a brand new project (my very first) and uses standard settings. I haven't gone into any custom scripting or choosing any unusal settings.

What should I look at to solve the problem?

This happened with version 5.1 and version 6.0.

Thanks,

JB

Quick follow-up:

It seems that the problem may be with the project folder, which is different than the default that is offered when creating a new Setup project.

When I use the default folder suggested by a new Setup project, everything seems to be working fine.

I made sure that the custom folder is not locked in any way.

Any reason why there should be a difference?

There shouldn't, as long as you have full access to the folder.
