File locking problem.
Hello there, I am new to this forum and I apologize if this is in the wrong place.
I seem to have a haunting problem that has followed me over an operating system reinstall twice now and the problem is this:
The main issue is when using Visual Studio Express (but not limited to) if I recompile a program it fails saying that it was unable to delete the previous executable but If I wait a couple of minutes and try again it goes through flawlessly.
Also when trying to install programs like Steam It fails on the same error, unable to delete the executable that it tries to overwrite.
It also crops up when trying to delete executable of a recently opened program especially if trying to delete the folder that the executable resides in.
I have spent many hours searching for an answer and found no working solution. The issue has followed me onto a completely fresh windows 7 install (from Home Premium to Ultimate), which is 100% legit.
Everything points to permission errors but I have tried everything I can think of.
Any thoughts or ideas as to solving the issue?
Many Thanks
Oli
