Get Error 6 about 50% of time when building Application

[Jon_S.]

Have any of the suggestions we've made seemed to either reduce the occurrence of the problem or increase it?  We are still trying to figure out exactly what is marking the file as reserved when we try to delete.  If any of you have a particular project that seems to reproduce the problem more frequently please let me know via this forum or private message.

Has anyone tried to disable the Windows 7 indexing that I linked above?

I had this problem and it went away when I moved to c:\builds. I thought it was because the pathnames were too long. Maybe it was because this is not an indexed location? I will turn on indexing for that location and post back here if I see the problems again.

yup, this did the trick for me. Now building into c:\b 

The filename was getting way too long as it was referring to c:\user\etc etc etc

There must be multiple situations that cause this. hfettig said that making the path shorter did not solve his issue. But it did solve mine and yours.

I just stumbled onto the same problem with LabView 2010 SP1 running on XP Pro SP3. Nothing seemed to help until I noticed that my LLB did not have a designated top level VI. Once I designated my top level VI it built with no hicup. This might be helpful to others getting consitent Error 6 on building applications.

Shortening the path solved my build problem with this error too:manvery-happy:

I tend to work off a network drive with a several folder paths mainly for backups but now i will work local and auto backup to the network drive
