    Angry Linker problem in MicroSoft Visual C++

    Hi.

    Please help me. I'm doing some programming involving DirectX.
    Everything was working out just fine when all of a sudden the compiler gave me this:

    --------------------Configuration: projektDelta - Win32 Debug--------------------
    Linking...
    LINK : fatal error LNK1168: cannot open Debug/projektDelta.exe for writing
    Error executing link.exe.

    projektDelta.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


    I had been able to compile and run the program many times before and the compiler didn't complain.

    Does anybody know what's wrong and how do I fix it?

    Best Regards,
    Christer

    If the program is open, close it and then try to compile it. I did that once and it gave me that error
    I am against the teaching of evolution in schools. I am also against widespread
    literacy and the refrigeration of food.

    >>If the program is open, close it
    Check the task manager too (or whereever you see your running programs), if your program is listed, kill it off. If all else fails, a reboot should do the trick.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Yes...that's exactly correct. Close the window in which your program is running.
