Hi aurora_s,

Firstly , please mark sure you file path doesn’t contain any Chinese character;

Then ,  please try to open the file C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/Microsoft.Common.Targets

And change all the true to false.(note: you should have admin rights ).

In addition, see whether you encounter the same issue as the following connect link:

Hi,

I don't have any non-ASCII character in my path: 

FileTracker : error FTK1011: no se pudo crear el nuevo archivo de registro de seguimiento de archivos: C:\Users\Juan\workspace\6.7.XE\ost3d-emce\build64_full_XE\fest3\Examples\examples.dir\Debug\icl-mcpcom.write.1.tlog. Este archivo ya existe.

So the error is FTK1011: File exists.

PS: Sometimes if I rebuild all the solution, it works

PS: Replacing all "true" ocurrences by "false" in the .Targets file, makes my compilation to return this error:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.Targets(2868,9): error MSB3021: Cannot copy xxxx.dir\Debug\xxxx.dll" in "C:\..\xxxx.dll". Cannot find the file 'xxx.dir\Debug\xxxxx.dll'.

I think that if the /MP switch is not used, the problem is out (I will test it more, because this issue is so random). Any idea? I really need the /MP option...

to everyone facing ERROR FTK101: 

Thanks to above answer, mentioning not to use paths with Chinese characters, I found the solution..

Move the project to a path with NO ENGLISH characthers in the path !!!!! The path I was using had some Greek characters. I moved the project to C:\ and the problem was gone.....

This is very nice if you come to think of it .... We are in year 2011 an still have such problems...

It can't handle a space character in the folder name either apparently, pretty sad.

Not sure why any of this .NET related build process is even invoked for a 100% native application.
