help it won't let me debug :(

Post by faclonboy101 » July 16th, 2017, 2:33 am

I have been having trouble debugging chili framework 2016. I see that others have this problem and I read them to see if I could get help as well. I tried everything and nothing. I let the program through my anti-virus program. I have uninstalled visual studio and reinstalled it numerous times. But the issue only happens when I change any of the code in the engine (to follow in the tutorials) and when I do I build the solution and it says "Access to the path 'c:\users\myname\documents\visual studio 2017\projects\chili framework 2016\release\engine.exe' is denied." and it has one more error that reads "Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\Users\myname\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\Chili Framework 2016\Release\engine.exe'" Honestly I'm really excited to start making games because I've been wanting to since I was a little kid. I included a picture of my screen if that helps.

EDIT by albinopapa: since you went through the trouble of removing your name from the pic and the warning I figured it was an oversight that your name was listed in the error.

Hmm, the ant-virus thing is where I would have put my money.

Each time you build/rebuild the executable the details of the file changes, so it could be possible the AV program sees it as a different threat.

Have you tried retargeting it? (Right click on sln in VS and click retarget solution)

You might want to try adding engine.exe to the whitelist of your antivirus. I have heard of others having the same issue.

The annoying thing is, usually the antivirus problem happen with the sound module. It makes me angry that there are false positives with just the vanilla framework :(
