Ошибка could not create output file delphi

asked Aug 7, 2012 at 17:45

I have the feeling that when you try to rebuild the application, project1.exe is still running. Maybe it takes longer than it should to close. You can easily check by opening Task Manager and see if the process project1.exe is still active after you close the application.

I’m on XE7 and occasionally experience the «Could not create output file» problem, f2039. Using sysinternals’ Process Explorer, I discovered an android debug process (adb.exe) had a lien on the compiled binary. Not sure why; there’s no android config in this particular win32 project I’m building. Anyway, killed adb.exe and all was good thereafter.

Some points. The target output directories were never being indexed. «Application Experience» mentioned elsewhere in this thread was running the entire time. And most of the time, I could manually delete the output binary despite XE7’s complaints. I noticed at one point, however, I could not delete the binary via the shell which provided the opportunity to locate the offending adb.exe via Process Explorer.

I right clicked the application (in the project group window) and then selected CLEAN.

I was then able to compile the application.

In my case Problem solved by excluding project folder from antivirus real time protection.

Can you delete EXE file manually?If no , proccess is in memroy , Open task manager ,select your project, END task . you have some bug in code that prevents application terminate.

If it is not in process list , Then Try :

1-exclude folder from windows Indexing or 3rd party file search applications that index files

2-In windows seven activate application experince service

3-Exclude project folder from Anti virus realtime protection

UPDATE

I noticed that ,Even if you do all what i said above, you may get this error some times in Windows 7 randomly.specially when you compile project many times…first compiles will be OK but after ten or more times this problem will be occurred

Sometimes Microsoft Security Essentials holds the file after it was build in Delphi and you need to turn off real time protection.

To check which process holds the file, use Sysinternals Process Explorer: link. Use «Find handle» and type your exe name.

In my case it was due to the output folder that did not exist.

So what you can try is go to Project-> Options and under the Directories tab, change the output directory to a folder that exists and try again.

1. Try to open the windows task manager
2. go to process if you can not find your app in here
3. then go to details tab you will find it.

I had the same problem and then I found it on details tab.
