    Is this file in a location that is mirrored with a cloud service (OneDrive, DropBox, etc)? If so, remove that location from the cloud service.

    No it's not.  As I said previously, nothing has changed on my computer.  At least I haven't installed, changed or uninstalled anything.  It just suddenly started happening after working fine for years.  No matter what project I try to compile, I get this error.  And it doesn't happen with Delphi 12, only Delphi 10.2.

    Sometimes, but years ago, I had the same problem.

     

    The executable is not show in the Task Manager or in Process Explorer, but it was running ... or better is locked in the shutdown state wait for something.

     

    Sometimes you can delete it from disk, but pressing F5 will see it reappear. Other times, as you reported, you can't erase it.

    At that time, not being able to understand what was happening, I inserted an "exitprocess" in the "destroy" event of the main Form and that solved the problem. Then subsequently starting to remove the "exitprocess" I no longer had any problems. But I can't tell you if it depended on the Delphi version or the operating system.

    However, if I remember correctly from "Process Explorer" you can do a search with the name of the executable and it should find it for you (use "Find Handle and DLL" from the menu).

    Bye

    I tried searching for the executable in Process Explorer several times but it couldn't find it.

     

    I will try the "exitprocess" but what I don't understand why it suddenly started happening, but only with the Delphi 10.2.3 IDE.

    Hi,

     

    I've been using RAD Studio (Delphi) 10.2.3 Tokyo for years.  All of a sudden yesterday afternoon, I have been unable to compile any applications I have written.  I get the following error message: [dcc32 Fatal Error] F2039 Could not create output file....

     

    This is what I've done:

     

    • Checked Task Manager to see if the executable is running - not running.
    • Checked Process Explorer to see if the executable is running - not running.
    • Used LockHunter to find out what is locking the executable - it reports nothing is locking it.  Tried using the Delete option - it says it is unable to delete it but can on next reboot.
    • Tried deleting the file manually - comes up with Try Again message.
    • Created a new blank application - same error.
    • Rebooting the computer allows me to compile once, and then the error occurs on each subsequent compile (or build).
    • Disabling anti-virus made no difference.
    • Ran sfc /scannow - no corruption detected.
    • Ran chkdsk - no issues detected.
    • Now here's where it gets really weird.  I can create applications in RAD Studio 12 (Delphi) Athens without any problem.  It's just 10.2.3 that has the problem, but it worked fine up until yesterday afternoon (I was using it in the morning without any problem).
    • Now this is bizarre - I can Cut and Paste the executable to another folder!!  I can then compile once but after that the same error message.  I can also hold down <shift> and move the file to another folder.

     

    This is on a 2-month-old computer running Windows 11 Pro.  I've never had any problems compiling/building programs in 10.2.3 until yesterday, and I use it every day.

     

    I haven't started using Delphi 12 Athens seriously yet because upgrading the components I use would cost over $2000.  So I'm sticking with 10.2.3 for now.

     

    Any suggestions?

    I been having the same issues with some custom components added to a package.  I renamed the old BPLs to BPLxxs and seemed to have fixed it. //The IDE uses BPLs for showing components in design 

    Have you used shift+ctrl+F to look for compxxx.    When it was happening the component disappeared taking its method assignments with it.  I would start second IDE and load back up copy to copy and paste aberrant component with property and method assignments. // When compiler detects unitsearchpath error I cancel loading fix the path first.  

     

     

    If you sanitized your system could the problem be transported in the myProject.dproj?   Maybe compare with earlier dproj?   10.2.3 (is Stoic does not "leave the room" or disappear like 10.4) when using find class in search menu then control B to see paths in IDE code editor.  

    Thank you for the suggestion.  I did search for "DotNetForm" but nothing was found.

     

    If I create a new project with no components the error still persists, so it seems to me to be something wrong with the IDE itself rather than a dproj file. 

     

    I would have thought reinstalling RAD Studio would fix the problem but unfortunately it didn't.  They only thing I can think of is to have it remove all registry entries on the uninstall, but I'm hesitant to do that as reinstalling all of the components will be a big job and I might still end up with the same problem.

    Thanks.  I'll give that a try.

    This can happen when the named component is present in the PAS file, but not on the form, or vice-versa. In my experience, it comes up when you move a form from a particular version of Delphi in which the component was installed to one in which the component type is not installed. Most often, it is in the DFM file, which will not display the component because it can't be found. Right-click on the form and edit as text, then search on the name.

    Alternately, it could be absent from the form, but the declaration in the PAS file may still be present. If that is the case, remove the declaration and then place your new component.

     

    As to the behavior described with CodeSite, I have no idea, as I have never experienced that. You could try a message to Ray Konopka, who is very helpful.

    Thanks.  I'll investigate further.

     

    I contacted Ray about CodeSite and he thought that the RAD Studio installation may have become corrupted.  So I completely uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, but it made no difference.

    I have been experiencing the similar issue on DotNetForm already exists as well since about end of January for both Sydney and Tokyo, it has been happening on a daily basis when starting up. 

     

    I followed the advice of renaming or removing C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\Startup Layout.dst

     

    Once i do that Delphi IDE cleanly starts but the question is why is this happening at all ?

     

    Is there any type of log file that i can review to see what exactly is going on ?

     

    I'd like to know too!  It suddenly started happening and no matter what I do, I can't seem to resolve it.  Surely we're not the only two in the world to be experiencing this.

    Hi,

     

    I have suddenly started having strange issues with RAD Studio 10.2.3 after years of it working fine.  For example, if I select Tools/CodeSite/CodeSite Method Tracer it works fine the first time.  But if I do it a second or more times, the following error is displayed:

     

    "A component named MethodTracerForm already exists."

     

    Some other options in RAD Studio act in a similar way, displaying messages like: "A component named DotNetForm already exists".

     

    I then have to restart the IDE before I can access these options, which then act the same way again.  It looks like the IDE may not be releasing the forms.

     

    This is what I have done to try to resolve the issue:

     

    • Uninstalled and reinstalled RAD Studio (several times).
    • Repaired the Windows registry.
    • Scanned the system files for errors or corrupted files.
    • Ran complete hardware tests (eg. hard drives, memory, etc.).
    • Repair .Net files.

     

    Has anyone come across anything like this before?

     

    Thanks.
