Create new project results in error now

Question

So. New problem. Also last problem.
I am out of ideas and also out of energy.

I reinstalled EVEYTHING so, there shouldn't be anything missing.
I will NOT reinstall LY completely again. Not for a 4th time,
absolutely not.

The last one I managed to get builds but nothing did run.
(See other post about "log", I am even to pissed right now to link
it properly...)
So I started again from scratch. (3rd time... and also for the last time.) and now I got this:

Any idea?

Accepted Answer

Soooo. For now, I am **finally** up and running...

Managed a clean install without errors and all SDKs.
It runs, and more importantly, I also managed to create and build a new project and a still fine working full rebuild.

What a tour de force... Never thought that one day I would consider these two steps an achievement in a game engine... :slight_smile:
But always like it when my stubbornness and persistence prevails.

So consider this solved. Now I can finally start to 
take a serious look at this thing. Need a break now anyway... Pretty exhausting stuff man. Hooooly ****.

I've never seen this before...  it looks like BinTemp is permission locked.  BinTemp is generated when running lmbr_waf configure.  What happens if you right click BinTemp/.lock-waf_win32_build and click properties?  Is it read only?  Mine is not read-only, so you'll want to change it read-only=off

If changing file permission doesn't work, what's the new commandline output say?

Answer

Do you happen to have antivirus enabled. If so, try temporarily disabling and see if that fixes the lock issue.

Lol to myself, haha... :) But in the end I am just not the guy for throwing the towel...

Answer

Interestingly it worked right out of the box on
the complete reinstall. So I am not sure what went wrong the other times.  Didn't touch anti-virus, so that can be ruled out.

Maybe some left over from the try/installation before the other one. Maybe some data got messed up. Doesn't matter now though, looks like everything is smooth sailing. 👍

Answer

I'm so glad you were able to build without any errors this time, nicely done!  Sounds like you reinstalled completely? Did you need to turn off anti-virus, or did it just work?

Answer

Hey there.

I thought I give it another shot and I uninstalled **everything** and I am now in the process of reinstalling everything completely from scratch.
*(Yeah, I am quite resilient, I know. )*

I am "only" a couple of hours in since I did that. 
So I can't say anything right now, this will still 
take quite a while until I am up and running again.

*(Good thing is I have 2 Systems running so I am not stuck waiting and can do something else in the meantime.)*

However, as soon as that is done I will report back.
Hopefully without any errors, if not there should be the same. If that's the case I will try your suggestions.

Thanks a lot,
tL.

*(Btw: What is it with this strange double slashes, i.e.:
 `c:\`
is this normal? I mainly work on my Mac, not so much on PC, so I am not sure but this looks kinda odd to me... Aren't normally network drives quoted like that?)*
