So I've been working on this pretty long, completely casual, giant project. Well, it seems like every other time I try to work on it I run into that old "Access denied" debug issue.

I want this fixed. I'm tired of it.

Facts:

Unable to write to output file 'C:\\\\\project\obj\Debug\project.exe': Access is denied.

I'm working with Windows Vista Home Premium edition, 32 bit.

Things I have tried:

1. Moving the whole project to the desktop. Simply creates a secondary version that cannot be deleted due to "access denied".

2. Reactivated the primary secret Administrator account. Still access denied.

3. Looked through properties and tried to change obj folder from being 'Read Only'. Again, access denied.

4. Using the command prompt to change settings / delete files. Access denied.


I know this is more of a vista issue, but this is the only program I have issues with or care about working with it. I'm exhausted, and I've been trying to fix this issue for over a year, off and on. Help!
