File is in use when it isn't?

Post by WHITELIONX »

Hi everybody, when I try packing up something I get messages that say the file is in use when it isn't? Any ideas?

Hi and welcome!

Are you receiving it while building your setup project?

Can you please make a screen shot?

Yes when trying to build it, if I cancel then rebuild it builds but after a short period of time it then tells me some other file is in use so I cancel the build then restart the build again lol. I will upload a screenshot but I'll try finish the build first :)

So any way I can't actually build it as the issue runs too many times, thought I'd get away with building the project but sadly not

Edit
It appears there are empty folders which aren't even needed lol. Great prog by the way nice and quick as well as very simple to understand :) It built so absolutely no complaints from me :)

Are you sure that these files are not in use? Did you try to click the Retry button?
When you get this error message again, try to move/rename the file to check if it actually is not in use.

Regarding empty folders, there is an option to not add these folders (menu View \ Option \ File Option).

"Regarding empty folders, there is an option to not add these folders (menu View \ Option \ File Option)." I didn't know this lol but thank you for future reference, love the prog :) I got it to compile so no problems now and thank you for replying :mrgreen:
