Question by gravyleaves · Jan 13, 2015 at 02:39 AM · windowsexceptionwindows store

IOException build error

I'm trying to build for windows phone 8.1

The one and only error I'm getting is:

Error building Player: IOException: Failed to Copy File / Directory from '' to 'Temp/StagingArea/'.

I've tried getting folders off read only, running unity as admin, exporting my project to a unitypackage and importing to a fresh project.

I can build an empty project with windows store/windows phone 8.1 just fine, no error. How on earth can I fix this?

I'm running windows 8.1 btw.

Sometimes I have to disable my antivirus or will get a similar error in Windows 7, so maybe temporarily disable your AV after a fresh reboot.

Make sure your Build and Project folders are not inside an administation folder.(such as program files) Check your antivirus. Attempt to build it as a different Type. Try a different machine or operating system. make sure you move your remove your failed build files before you try again, certain processes in win 8 may attempt to use the files ur building before u have even finished created them(because its the most pathetically thought out operating system for an experienced user in the history of OS and was made for Rtards).

and lastly Burn microsoft to the ground.
