Hi what Graham Dunnett pointed out is that when you open project for the first time, Unity creates Library and if you are running ESET just like me, ESET will scan Library folder while its being created and that is causing the issue.

Solution:

Just close Unity, delete the library folder from your project, temporarily disable ESET and open the project and let it import all assets. It will run smooth without any error. When you open the project next time it should be ok without a need of repeating the whole process again.

regards

Well, I did disable my ESET security WITHOUT deleting my library folder and it worked! Thanks for giving that idea!

Just add an exclusion in ESET for the Unity specific directories. That way you don't need to disable it every time

Dropbox can also cause this error to occur when loading, simply pause syncing until after the project is fully loaded.

Any program that is also trying to access the same files can cause this error. In my case it was dropbox. For those that are having the same error and need to find the program responsible here is a url to an article that may help http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-find-out-which-windows-process-using-file.htm

I haven't got Dropbox until I had a new hard-drive. In fact, Dropbox isn't the problem.
