aspnet_merge error 'access to path denied'

[bb]

when using the web deployment project to merge my aspnet assemblies i
get an unusual error 'access to path denied' i double checked path
looks ok, and gave everyone full perms on the folder and files, but
nothing.

anyone got anything to try?



Task "AspNetMerge"
Running aspnet_merge.exe ...

C:\Program
Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WebDeployment\v8.0\aspnet_merge.exe "C:\My
Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\web_deploy\web_deploy\Debug" -o

Hope this helps.

as it happens it didnt help. the error code 1 is just some generic
error reporting, which can be made more verbose.. the guy in the url
you posted has duplicate class names - which ive ironed out in my app.

i have since discovered my problem was that i had two projects (one web
app and one class library)

the class library was called 'brian' and i was trying to create a
merged output assembly for the web app called 'brian' too....

i realised i was being stupid later after reading some docs ;-)
