Title: POLINK: fatal error: Access is denied.
Post by: peripatein on June 14, 2013, 12:19:31 PM

Hi,
When I try to run my program after changing the compiler tab (under project options) to full and the linker tab to Codeview && COFF format, I receive the following error message and cannot execute the program:
Writing debug information

 Compacting CodeView information

 POLINK: fatal error: Access is denied.

*** Error code: 1 ***
The reason I made those changes to the settings in the compiler and linker tabs was simply because I wished to debug my program; I read somewhere that if I made those changes I could then debug my code properly (otherwise, it would be in Assembly mode).

I'd really appreciate some assistance with this.

Try to delete the last version of the exe, or check with task manager if you have a running instance of your exe, and kill it if you find one.

This usually happens when you have an instance of the application already running.  Check to see if that is the case and exit it first.
