InstallAware

Just upgraded to 9 (from 6 I think).

My projects builds, but each time it copies a file mscoree.dll into a project subdirectory such as "Release\\Web\\data\\OFFLINE\\E18BD407\\431AE4FA", which then cannot be deleted. If I re-run the builder, it fails saying that file cannot be copied (because the existing one is locked).

I cannot delete the manually, even after closing IA, get the "in use" error.

I've used process explorer, and that file doesn't appear to be in use.

I have to rename to mscoree.dll.1, mscoree.dll.2, etc each time I do a build.

I rebooted and still can't delete the file...um, odd.

Is there some windows protection that is stopping file tampering? I have tried disabling KAV, and anything else that might be doing it. Using Windows 2003.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

cheers,


-c.

Windows "file protection" can be strange, especially when you are using AV software. Even when the AV software is disabled, its driver is often not - just working in pass-through mode instead - so unless you uninstall it fully, bugs in the driver may still be exposed through strange behavior like this.

That said, why are you installing Microsoft's .NET core DLL manually? I believe you need to use the .NET runtimes for that instead - we have lots and lots built-in to InstallAware.

I have just switched to VS9 from 7. I did this for the feature that caches install for patching.
I am seeing the same problem I cannot delete the Patch or Regular install folder because it says mscoree.dll is in use.
I also get the build error. I have tried rebooting and all and it will not let the mscoree.dll in the Patch and Install folders be deleted.
