Visual Studio output file permissions?

by

Wooho I finally figured this one out.

It’s a bug in Windows 7 and likely in Windows Server 2008 (possibly 64bit versions only). It surfaces when you disable Application Experience service.

Re-enabling this service has fixed this problem for me.

You can’t imagine how happy I am, this was making programming so frustrating as it’s not just messing with VC, but any compiler and to top it off it’s quite random.

A bit more info here as to why it’s causing a problem.
