vb.net: I wrote a small program a few years ago, and am not just trying to update it.

When I try to debug I get the error message:

Could not copy temporary files to the output directory.
The file 'keycapture.exe' cannot be copied to the run directory. The
requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section
open.

If anyone has a nice source of information on how to save different versions
of the program, I would also appreciate that. I would like to work on this
and be able to go back to the last working version easily.

I probably really need to start over at some point, but would like to copy
large sections/forms. Must be easier than this...

Thanks!

Ross,

Did you make everything visible and have than included some not included
directories in your project.

Your error sounds a lot like the one you get than.

I solved the problem and for those who might experience the same message
here was my solution.

I had moved my VB projects folder to the My Documents directory. VB.net
2003 does not appear to like that, perhaps because it spawns some generic
processes during compling, not sure. However the solution was to move the
VB project directory to the root directory. The error messages are gone and
everything is fine again...
