Hi
I have message resource compilation project. When i compile our project by using Makefile. It fails sometime with below error code(Working most of the time)

> LINK : fatal error LNK1109: cannot remove file 'C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\2\lnk2B30.tmp'

> NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\link.exe"' : return code '0x455'

> Stop.

Is there any reason for failing.This article says it's due to AV Scanner holding the file.
is it true?

You should be able to use process-explorer or handle to identify a process holding a handle to the file of interest.

Given the intermittent nature of the problem, it's highly likely to be an AV issue - have you tried disabling the AV to see if it still occurs?

No, I haven't tried. If it's due to AV means we will disable AV for troubleshooting
