Fatal error could not create output file c program files borland delphi7 projects project1 exe

So for some time now I keep having this problem:

on windows 7 (64bit), with Delphi 7 and Delphi XE2, if from within the IDE, I compile a program, run it, stop it, change it and rerun it I get this error message:

[Fatal Error] Cannot create output file «project1.exe»

I have no clue to what causes this. I googled for more information, but I could not find a solution.

There are two workarounds: either wait a minute or two, or delete project1.exe manually. Needless to say, this is unworkable.

I do not have a virus scanner, and no virus. Have full access to related folders. Run everything as Administrator.

So what causes this? And what can I do to fix it?

I have the feeling that when you try to rebuild the application, project1.exe is still running. Maybe it takes longer than it should to close. You can easily check by opening Task Manager and see if the process project1.exe is still active after you close the application.

I’m on XE7 and occasionally experience the «Could not create output file» problem, f2039. Using sysinternals’ Process Explorer, I discovered an android debug process (adb.exe) had a lien on the compiled binary. Not sure why; there’s no android config in this particular win32 project I’m building. Anyway, killed adb.exe and all was good thereafter.

Some points. The target output directories were never being indexed. «Application Experience» mentioned elsewhere in this thread was running the entire time. And most of the time, I could manually delete the output binary despite XE7’s complaints. I noticed at one point, however, I could not delete the binary via the shell which provided the opportunity to locate the offending adb.exe via Process Explorer.

I faced the same problem and I solved it . It seems that in some unknown cases the exe application remains running .
The solution is simple . You must just follow the following steps :

  1. open the windows task manager
  2. Go to the ‘Processes’ tab
  3. click on the ‘Show processes from all users’ and Your exe will appear
  4. Choose it and press the ‘End Process’ button

And everything will be alright.

Try removing Castalia if you are using it. I spent 3 days trying to solve this problem, everything I could think of…file permissions, watching the file handles with process explorer. If I install Castalia 2013.3.4, the problem happens (I have steps to reproduce), and uninstalling it makes the problem go away.

Additionally, the IDE will crash if you have a ‘default debug desktop’ set, and try to run under the debugger using any other saved layout. (crash happens on the switch to the debug desktop).

I right clicked the application (in the project group window) and then selected CLEAN.

I was then able to compile the application.

In my case Problem solved by excluding project folder from antivirus real time protection.

Can you delete EXE file manually?If no , proccess is in memroy , Open task manager ,select your project, END task . you have some bug in code that prevents application terminate.

If it is not in process list , Then Try :

1-exclude folder from windows Indexing or 3rd party file search applications that index files

2-In windows seven activate application experince service

3-Exclude project folder from Anti virus realtime protection

UPDATE

I noticed that ,Even if you do all what i said above, you may get this error some times in Windows 7 randomly.specially when you compile project many times…first compiles will be OK but after ten or more times this problem will be occurred

Sometimes Microsoft Security Essentials holds the file after it was build in Delphi and you need to turn off real time protection.

To check which process holds the file, use Sysinternals Process Explorer: link. Use «Find handle» and type your exe name.

In my case it was due to the output folder that did not exist.

So what you can try is go to Project-> Options and under the Directories tab, change the output directory to a folder that exists and try again.

  1. Try to open the windows task manager
  2. go to process if you can not find your app in here
  3. then go to details tab you will find it.

I had the same problem and then I found it on details tab.

1/29/2020: During the past week, I experienced this: Load a project in Delphi 7 on a Win 10 machine, compile it (successfully), run the project from inside of D7 (successful), recompile the project and get a «cannot create ….project1.exe». Upon reboot, can successfully compile and execute, but the second compile fails as the above.
I found that Dell Support Assist had an update 8 days ago (about the time this started), so I uninstalled it. After that, no problems with D7.

A solution that has worked for me, change project options -> Linking and leave it like that, then delete the executable manually and solved.Project options -> linking

I seem to have fixed it by setting the compatibility mode to XP SP3. This also fixed another annoyance which made Alt-P not open bring up the Project menu.

EDIT: I didn’t have to re-enable my Application Experience. Still dead where it should be :)

Right-click on your Delphi short-cut, Properties, then choose the Compatibility tab. Choose Run the program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service pack 3).

(I also checked the Run this program as an administrator box, but you may choose not to do that.)

(This is for Delphi 7, as per the OP’s question, not for XE7, although it may work for that too.)

Лада Келлер, у Вас ранее скомпилированная программа не висит в процессах?

Лада Келлер, этот файл формируется при компиляции. Обычный exe.
Такого рода ошибка появляется, если предыдущий exe файл программы был запущен, и не закрыт.

Потому что начиная с Windows Vista пользовательским программам это запрещено.
Перенеси все свои файлы (проект) куда-нибудь в Мои документы и работай с этим проектом.

А что делать если сохранил не на «С» а просто на «D» и программа раньше работало, но спустя месяц она выдало эту ошибку «fatal error could not create output file» и потом просто весит в диспетчере пока не перезагрузишь, хотя раньше не открывал и в диспетчере не висела???

How to install Delphi 7 on
Windows 7 is no different from installing other software, open the windows
installer or setup file, then enter the serial number that is already
available, anyway, you could say it makes no difference as installing other
software, just maybe some of my friends master Delphi 7 its not complete, so
the warning window (warning windows) the installation procedure, for which
there are three options, namely: Abort (foils), Try Again (Try again) and the
Ignore (Ignore), select Ignore each time a warning window (warning windows)
appears.

Then after install Delphi 7 on Windows 7, then try to open the
Delphi program with a shortcut named Delphi 7 which has been available in the
All Programs, if not open the following folders:

C: Program Files Borland Delphi7 Bin

and find there an application file named Delphi 7 (usually size
533 kB), and open the file, so the window will appear as below
:

Then click Run Program, it
will show a window like the following:

Unable
to rename ‘C: Program Files Borland Delphi7 Bin delphi32 .$$$’ to’ C:
Program Files Borland Delphi7 Bin delphi32.dro ‘

Then if you click OK, then the program Delphi 7 will be open but for the form
of work sheets does not appear, to overcome this, do the following steps: 



  • Open
    the folder C: Program Files Borland Delphi7 so it would seem the top
    folder named bin and a folder named Projects. Now we will begin the
    first Bin folder, right-click the Bin folder and select Properties,
    uncheck the blue or check the Read-only attributes (Only apllies to files
    in a folder), so the box Read-only attributes (Only APPLIES to files in a
    folder ) and Hidden blank check and clean, with no blue color, then click
    Apply, click OK, click Continue, and finally click OK
  • Still
    in the Bin folder, right-click the Bin folder, click Properties and open
    the Security tab, click Edit and check Allow on Full information control,
    Modify, Read and execute, List folder contens, Read and Write (usually by
    check settings on the description Full control then the other will
    automatically terberi tick by itself), then click Apply, click OK and
    finally click OK
  • Projects
    now in the folder, do the same thing has been done in the Bin folder of
    this folder Projects.
  • And
    now the vinegar folder C: Program Files Borland Delphi7 Bin from
    the search for the application configuration file named delphi32 (usually
    size 533 kB), right-click on the file and click Properties, go to the
    compability tab and check the box on the left » Run this program as
    an administrator «, then click OK
  • Then
    right-click the file again delphi32, choose the second option (under the
    Open) Run as administrator and friend, God willing Delphi will work fine
    in Windows 7

If not successful please try the second solution
below:

  • Close
    the program once Delphi 7, open the folder C: Program Files Borland
    Delphi7 Bin, and locate the file named delphi32.dro then the file should
    be replaced with the results of the uninstall file delphi32.dro Delphi 7
    on Windows 7, so we have to install first dong Delphi 7 on Windows
    XP? should anyway so, to get the file delphi32.dro results uninstall
    on Windows XP, but on the internet friends of cyberspace is to upload a
    file delphi32.dro the uninstall on Windows XP, please download here
  • After
    that, copy paste the files downloaded just now in the folder C: Program
    Files Borland Delphi7 Bin with the intention of replacing the file
    delphi32.dro results uninstall files in Windows 7 with the results
    delphi32.dro uninstall on Windows XP. Now try to reopen the program
    Delhi 7, Delphi 7 program was open to normal

Now
please be tested or attempted to create a program that’s as simple as the sum
of two numbers program and try running (Run) program, if the current program to
diRunkan means Delphi 7 is already open through the Administrator user, if the
program is unworkable or diRunkan, it will message appears below:

[Fatal
Error] Could not create output file ‘C: Program Files Borland Delphi7
Projects Project1.exe’

How do
I fix this? Do the following steps:

  1. Make sure there are no Delphi 7 application program
    that opens in addition to the work sheet work sheet form, close the
    application file and try running (Run) program.
  2. If there is no Delphi application file (. Exe) being
    open means that the program does not open the Delphi 7 friends through the
    Administrator, how do I fix this? Do it again the following steps:

·        
Close the first program
as a whole Delphi 7 friends

·        
Open the folder C:
Program Files Borland Delphi7 Bin

·        
Find the file named
delphi32 application (usually size 533 kB)

·        
Right-click on the file,
select Properties, open the Compatibility tab and check the box Run this
program as an administrator, then click OK

·        
Right-click the file
again and select Run as administrator as shown below:

Now try to create again a
simple program, and everything is normal right?
