Linker problem in Visual C++ 6.0

[Christer]

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 you looked in the help you will see:

LNK1168

cannot open filename for writing

The given file does not have write permission.

May be your program is still running, or has crashed & Windows thinks it is still running (try a reboot). Or perhaps you have (somehow) changed the file permission on the exe.
