Build error - Failed to localize one or more elements...

Hello,
I am getting the following error: Failed to localize one or more elements in the EXE bootstrapper. Make sure that [... ... ] is not being used by another process and the elements used by the bootstrapper can be accessed.
That error began to appear in the last few weeks,the builds before worked perfectly.
I tried to reproduce that behavior on other machine without success, that error is unique for a specific machine.
After many build executions the build usually finished successfully.

Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks in advanced.

Re: Build error - Failed to localize one or more elements...

Hi,

This problem usually appears if the output folder (the folder where the package is built) is open during the build process. This happens because of a conflict between Advanced Installer and Windows Explorer. Can you make sure that the output folder is closed and see if the problem persists?
