A weird problem!

Hi,
When an program tries to write an executable (for example a patcher) i get "File access denied error".
I noticed that the "System" process is using the file for 30 seconds and then it gets deleted

This happens even when i try to compile from PureBasic IDE or CodeBlocks...
Any ideas?

I'm using windows 7 64bit

What is the name you are trying to give your exe? Is there anything inside the exe that the OS/Spyware/Anti-Virus would be suspicious of?

It happens at all executables despite the name. If i try to replace the exe from windows explorer things are ok but when another program
tries to overwrite the exe i get this error...



Also if i try to execute it i get:

[Window Title]
X:\Lab\dev\test\bin\Debug\test.exe

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

[OK]

and after ~30 sec the file disappears

how paranoid is your AV software? is the IDE set to run in ADMIN mode? Did win7 just do another security update?

of course it is a "PATCH" program... nominally win7 won't let that sort of thing happen anyway... BAD IDEA... just recode to REPLACE the program and see what happens...
