when trying to deploy my uwp application (no difference for Simulator, local or x86, x64), I get the following error:

Error : DEP0500 : The folder "...\bin\x86\Debug\AppX" could not be deleted. Access to the path 'mscordbi.dll' is denied

With the tool 'ProcessExplorer' I found that VS2015 itself is locking the file. After a manual delete, I can run a single deployment, but the second fails due to the locked file again. I already tried the following Things, without any effect: - delete VS-Settings - move projects to a new solution

Why is this file locked by Visual Studio?

  • Are you deploying your app on device in Release? This always happens to me when trying to build in Release on multiple machines. – khamitimur Mar 15 '16 at 17:33
  • No, I use the debug configuration :( – cykone Mar 16 '16 at 06:55

    I don't know why this happens, but if your close VS with your project and delete `bin` folder from your project folder - this should help. – khamitimur Mar 16 '16 at 08:28
  • It helps for one single deployment. After that, I would have to close VS delete the Folder and start again... That can not be a solution. The strange thing is, that I am the only person in my team with the problem. – cykone Mar 16 '16 at 14:45

You should close VS and reopen the project. This is a VS bug. When you deploy a project, the AppX folder should be deleted, but sometimes VS uses mscordbi.dll during this.
