My project build fails with the following error information. What's wrong?

Where is the project located that you are trying to build?  Is it on another PC or server?

The path listed in error message starts out \\.psf\  which means a target name of ".psf "  That seems to be a rather odd name for a PC or a server.

Hello,

It's often happend when I forget to completely close exe file (using Task Manager in windows) while trying once again to build it.

Maybe it is not solution for You, but treat this as reminder

I know this is an old thread, but I just had a similar issue and resolved it a different way. It turns out the original developer had selected the option to run the VI after build, and somehow this was causing the error. I had tried building this 20+ times after tweaking source files/dependencies and I didn't have any success until I unchecked the box for running the VI after the build in the Pre/Post builds section.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who may run into this issue!
