Fatal compiler error: GEN1090 Cannot inject stub...

Hi Friedrich

Any idea what could be causing this error?

Other SB projects in the same computer compile fine.

Thanks!

File owned by another process?

Hi Carlos,

I think it's what Russ said. Another process (temporarily) locks the file
for write access. This error indicates that the WriteFile Windows API
failed -- the compiler was unable to finalize the PE Header modification.

I bet your anti-virus product thought it "detected" a malicious code
contained within the setup.exe (e.g. a specific combination of bytes) and
locked it.

Hi Friedrich

Thanks for the reply. Good to know the problem is related to the writefile
API and not something else in the script.

I don't think it's a locked file, as I can delete the partially generated
installer exe file and it's recreated everytime, and I'm doing this in a
virtual machine without any antivirus installed in it.

But R: is a network drive using VirtualBox's Shared folder feature. I'll try
again using a simpler setup.
