SYMPTOMS
========
While Visual C++ is running, renaming a project's directory fails even though
the project has been closed.
CAUSE
=====
The project .ncb file remains open even after the project is closed.
RESOLUTION
==========
Open another project, or close Visual C++ Developer Studio.
If renaming the directory still fails, and Visual C++ previously crashed [general
protection (GP) fault], consult Task Manager for a running process named
Msdev.exe and end the process.
If renaming still fails, another task may have a file open in that directory or
one of its subdirectories. Find and close that task.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 6.0.
MORE INFORMATION
