So, I'm trying to build a project I just installed Visual Studio to build this specific project (it is in vb6 so I needed to use the Visual Basic tools extension because i had Visual Studio 2015 installed). I have no programming knowledge on this area, only web.

And when I try to build it it gives me this error:

------ Build started: Project: Proyecto1, Configuration: Debug x86 ------

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3812,5): error MSB3030: Could not copy the file "obj\Debug\Proyecto1.exe" because it was not found. Done building project "Proyecto1.vb6proj" -- FAILED.

Build FAILED.

Then I click on the error and it send me to that piece of code

<!-- Copy the build product (.dll or .exe). -->

<Copy
SourceFiles="@(IntermediateAssembly)"
DestinationFolder="$(OutDir)"
SkipUnchangedFiles="$(SkipCopyUnchangedFiles)"
OverwriteReadOnlyFiles="$(OverwriteReadOnlyFiles)"
Retries="$(CopyRetryCount)"
RetryDelayMilliseconds="$(CopyRetryDelayMilliseconds)"
UseHardlinksIfPossible="$(CreateHardLinksForCopyFilesToOutputDirectoryIfPossible)"
Condition="'$(CopyBuildOutputToOutputDirectory)' == 'true' and '$(SkipCopyBuildProduct)' != 'true'">

  <Output TaskParameter="DestinationFiles" ItemName="MainAssembly"/>
  <Output TaskParameter="DestinationFiles" ItemName="FileWrites"/>

</Copy>

<Message Importance="High" Text="$(MSBuildProjectName) -&gt; @(MainAssembly->'%(FullPath)')" Condition="'$(CopyBuildOutputToOutputDirectory)' == 'true' and '$(SkipCopyBuildProduct)'!='true'" />

I already saw the existent questions for this problem and the solutions didn't worked for me.

  • Disable your anti-malware product and try again. If it is Avast then plan to get rid of it asap. – Hans Passant Oct 05 '16 at 12:40
  • @Davide I am also facing the same issue. Has this issue fixed ? If yes then can you tell me the solution for the same. Thanks! – Pramod Raut Feb 01 '17 at 17:11

In my case it was like @Hans says it was my Antivirus fault (Avast) I disabled it to test if that was the problem, deleted the bin and debug folders and re-opened the solution and it worked perfectly.

P.D. Remember to add you solution folder to your antivirus exclusions.
