If a copy of an executable is running on your computer, and you try to
create a new executable with the same filename, the following error message
appears:
Permission Denied "Project.exe"
CAUSE
This error is caused by the fact that a copy of the project's executable
file is already running on the system. Microsoft Windows does not allow a
file to be written to or deleted when it is running.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, either rename the .Exe file when you create a
new executable, or exit from the executable that is currently running.
