It'll fail eventually when it copies to the final location the exe though. Unless Linux or OSX.

> One of your issues _might_ be related to the fact that Windows can't update and EXE while it is running. Unlike OSX/Linux. This goes back to the earliest versions of windows. The process must be killed before compile anyway. Being that you're on windows, I would expect to implicate a virus scanner as part of that problem as well. I can see the virus scanner hooking into the build process as the obj/dll/exes are built.
