TFS The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

Question

I have created an automated build process using TFS which builds a web application.

As part of this process a batch file is used to call ASP Merge to merge my web pages into one dll. I'm using the TFS activity, Invoke Process to do this.

The following is a screenshot of what is output in the TFS build window: TFS Build Output

Does anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot this issue?

Answer 1

I solved this issue by removing the "Start /high /wait" command that I had in place to start the aspnet_merge tool in a separate window. The reason this was being done is because in a local script we were compiling the code files first using aspnet_compiler before running aspnet_merge. I also had to split the rest of the file out into a different command file as it was deleting config files I needed.
