visual studio - LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'D:...MyProj.exe'

Question

Using Visual Studio 2010, when I build + run my application in short intervals I often get the following error. If I just wait a minute or two and try again it works fine. Unlocker claims no handle is locking the executable file.
How can I discover what's locking it?
If it's Visual Studio itself, what should I do to make it stop? or alternatively to release the file?

Answer 1

Had this issue after a reinstall today. Make sure the Application Experience service is started and not set to disabled. If its set to manual, I believe VS will start it.
