You may receive an "error PRJ0008" or "Fatal error LNK1168" error message when you try to build a solution or an ActiveX project in Visual C++
This article was previously published under Q308358
Note Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2002 and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 support both the managed code model that is provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework and the unmanaged native Microsoft Windows code model. The information in this article applies only to unmanaged Visual C++ code. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 supports both the managed code
model that is provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework and the unmanaged native
Microsoft Windows code model.
When an ActiveX control is developed in the same solution
as the consuming application, you may receive a compile error similar to the
following when you attempt to build your solution or ActiveX project:
CustomCtl : error PRJ0008 : Could not delete file
'C:\Documents and Settings\<your login>\My Documents\Visual Studio
Projects\CustomCtl\Debug\CustomCtl.dll'.
-or-
Fatal error LNK1168: cannot open
CustomCtl.dll for writing.
When the ActiveX control is added to the dialog box in the
Resource Editor, the .NET Development Platform (NDP) Frameworks property window
holds a reference to the control.
Once the control is added to the dialog box in the resource
editor, close the property window and restart the integrated development
environment (IDE). After you restart the IDE, do not open the property window
for the control. If you do need to open the property window after you have
restarted the IDE (such as to make some changes to the properties of the
control), you must close the window and restart the IDE again before you
compile.
This behavior is by design.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
- Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2002 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
