Visual Studio Languages , Windows Desktop Development > Visual C++ Question 6 Sign in to vote When I first compile and link a solution, everything enable “application experience” service works fine. However, often (about 60 - 70% of the time), subsequent net start aelookupsvc link operations fail unable to open the .exe file for writing. I've checked the obvious things such as the application experience windows 10 application still running and even trying to delete the existing file via explorer fails saying the file is in use. If I wait long enough - sometimes up to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12124146/vc-fatal-error-lnk1168-cannot-open-filename-exe-for-writing 5 minutes - then all works well again. I haven't worked out when this happens. It usually happens if I encounter an unhandled exception during a test run, but sometimes I get this even when the test run was clean. Any ideas?

To find out quickly, download the "Handle" tool from Sysinternals (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/handle.mspx), and start it with "handle filename.exe". That should show all applications currently using / holding it.

To solve the first problem, create your projects on the hard disk and your source files on diskette. To solve the second problem, quit the running application (Press any key to continue..)" http://faculty.capitol-college.edu/j...ler_Errors.htm Hope this helps.
