FMI plugin cause: IOException thrown: Failed to rename the target file: C:\Documents and Settings\markel.sainz\workspace_FMI\FMI_test2\block_1_MSVCDLL\FMU\cash_calculator.dll

Any ideas of what is going on?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have Visual Studio installed? – sergej Jun 10 '16 at 08:12 — sergej, Jun 10 '16 at 08:12

I got this problem many times and at the end solved it according to many resources.

First, go to

C:\ProgramData\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody\8.1.1x64\Share\etc\msvcmake.bat

Then open the file and change

if "%4"=="VC10" set VS_PATH=%VS_2010_PATH%

to

if "%4"=="VC10" set VS_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0

The path is where you installed the Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0.

The last step (many answers missed this): go to IBM Rational Rhapsody and open your project, then click "Build Framework" at the bottom of "Code" menu.

Then you're free to go!
