Build/Rebuild on VS 2017 cause warning "Unable to delete file. Access to the path is denied."

Hello,

My scenarios is:
- I create a new project with Visual Studio 2017, using the last version of Add-in Express.
- I register the dll from Visual Studio.
- Then, after each modification, I made a build/rebuild to see the changes
- If I do not "unregister" before build/rebuild, then I receive this error:
'Unable to delete file "..\bin\Release\MyAddin1.dll". Access to the path '..\bin\Release\MyAddin1.dll' is denied.
- No office launched that can use the dll.

This is normal?
It does not happened when I used previous version of Visual Studio and also an old version of Add-in Express.

Hello Wolfgang,

That is, no host Office application of your add-in is listed on the Details tab of the Task Manager window?

What is the host application(s)? OneNote?

The developed project(where I found the warning) is for MS Outlook.
But then, I created a sample project, a new ADX COM Add-in for MS Word.
I found the same warning. No Office Word opened.

Is this a warning or error? If it is a warning and if the project builds correctly, we saw it on our machines previously; google mentions it many times. We assume this issue can be safely ignored. Also, it looks like they solve it as we are unable to reproduce it any longer. Try to update your Visual Studio 2017; it is 15.8.5 on my machine.

Yes, it is a warning. My Visual Studio 2017 is also 15.8.5 version.
And after the build, the DLL is builded. If I want to delete from the source folder, by hand, I can do that.
So, I will ignore that warning, till a new version of VS.
Thank you for your response.

You are welcome.

It's strange that we saw this issue previously on our machines and we are unable to reproduce it now.
