Why Does a Program Compile and Run Successfully But Then Fail to Compile and Link?

Question

I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with C++Builder 12. I can successfully load and build a pre-existing project using Shift+F9.

However, sometimes if I invoke Shift+F9 again, I get this error message:

[ilink32 Error] Fatal: Could not open .\Win32\Release\MyProg.exe (error code 1224)

This error has happened with VCL projects and console projects, and with all combinations of 32/64-bit and Release/Debug.

Answer 1

I discovered that my use of Webroot SecureAnywhere was causing the problem. Disabling it eliminates the problem. I haven't found a way to adjust the settings of SecureAnywhere to allow it to continue to run but not interfere with C++Builder.
