This is the error message that keeps on showing up in one of my two
computers, the one I use for development:

mt.exe :
general error c101008d:
Failed to write the updated manifest to the resource of file
"xyz.exe".
Access is denied.

In my laptop I have the same (give or take) version of MS Visual
Studio 2005, and have never seen the error message.

I have reinstalled the IDE, and the error is still there.

I have downloaded updates from Microsoft's web page, and the error is
still there.

I have looked in the web, but can't find any useful tip.

TIA,

Symantec said the following.

The error can occur in some situations due to a race condition between the compiler process and the anti-virus file-system auto-protect.
