Hi Christopher,

Do you have the SDL Trados Studio process running while compiling by any chance?

Hi Sorin,

no, Trados Studio is not running during the build.

I found the root cause of this issue:

By default, the output path for a Studio plugin assembly is set to

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\11\Plugins\Packages

There is a MSBUILD task CreatePluginManifestTask that is executed after the build. This task copies the generated .sdlplugin file to AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\11\Plugins\Packages.

I think that the MSBUILD task tries to copy the file when it gets copied by Visual Studio. Therefore, the error message is shown.

There are two ways to work around this problem:

1) Change the output path of the project to another folder (i.e. bin\Debug).

2) Edit the .csproj and add

<PropertyGroup>

<DeployPluginPackage>false</DeployPluginPackage>

</PropertyGroup>

This will prevent the MSBUILD task from moving the .sdlplugin file.

Thanks,

Christopher
