I Am Trying to Copy a File, But Getting Error Message

Error when trying to copy file

This is possible when the destination path is missing the directory.
Make sure that the place at which you want to copy the source file is containing all required directory.

Error 1 Unable to copy file when compiling

Thanks for all who contributed

in the obj folder of the project, i renamed the debug folder, the reason being that i tried to deleted it, but windows won't let me, saying the folder is not empty. So i suspect file curruption and simply renamed the folder.

that solved the problem

thanks all.

False 'Sharing Violation' Xcopy error message

After much trial and error I was able to determine why I was getting a shared violation

I was copying files from computer B to computer A

I thought the sharing violations were occurring because computer B was not allowing me to make a copy of those files [stored on its harddrive].

In actuality, the directory on computer A (computer copying to) had files which I could not write over. This is why I was getting the shared violation.

One of the files in the directory on computer A was an executable task which I thought had been killed (taskkill). However, this executable got overlooked in the taskkill (actually wasn’t listed in the task manager for some reason) process and this program was still running (the file was in use). Therefore, when I tried to overwrite the file, xcopy was denied access to overwrite this file/executable, resulting in shared violations.

I was under the impression that sharing violations would only occur during xcopy if the files on computer B would not allow the copy to occur.
