    LINK ERROR MESSAGE, please help

    what does this mean, and how do I fix it?
    LINK : fatal error LNK1168: cannot open Debug/turbidostat.exe for writing
    Error executing link.exe.

    It happened after I first commented out this line:
    pMainFrame->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow);
    then took out the comment bars --> "//"

    Re: LINK ERROR MESSAGE, please help

    It means that the exe file was in use when it tried to delete the existing one so it could create the new one. Possiblities are:
    1) Your exe running.
    2) your exe is running without a main window visible check task manager.
    3) you have the exe open in devstudio as a resource file.

    HTH,
    Chris
