Hi,

on win 2008 server, we have a TFS build agent that get sources and launch a final builder project to build our solution.

Often the "access is denied" error happens on a text replace, move, or delete, ... action.

For example, 4 text replace actions are performed on the same file and the fourth one fails :

| Text Find / Replace | Text Replace [DLL\_RESOURCES\_TRAD...] with [.resources.dll...] in [versioninfoInterop.rc] | 03:42:17 | 03:42:17 | 00:00:00 | 
Completed
 |
| 
```
Expression to Match is : (?i)INTEROP_NAMEMatch took :0Found 2 matches.Writing replaced data to file X:\tlib\versioninfoInterop.rcFound 2 matches
```
 |
| Text Find / Replace | Text Replace [MAJOR,MINOR,RELEASE,BUILD...] with [2,5,3,...] in [versioninfoInterop.rc] | 03:42:17 | 03:42:17 | 00:00:00 | 
Completed
 |
| 
```
Expression to Match is : (?i)MAJOR,MINOR,RELEASE,BUILDMatch took :0Found 2 matches.Writing replaced data to file X:\tlib\versioninfoInterop.rcFound 2 matches
```

Completed

```

```

Hi   
  
 My apologies for the delay in replying. Do you have antivirus software installed on your build agent machine? One thing you can try is to add a small pause between actions.

Hi Vincent,   
  
 yes we tried to add small delay between actions and as you thought we don’t have the errors anymore.   
 I didn’t know the cause, so you think it can be the antivirus.
