TFS 2012 Build “Access to Path Denied”

Question

I’m using TFS 2012 Build and running into an error

Access to the path is denied

The solution being built contains about 15 proje

Answer 1

I had this issue, with TFS 2015. It turned out to be because the build Agent was running under the default (NETWORK SERVICE) credentials, which didn't have write permissions on the target folder. Once I'd removed the Agent and reinstalled it with credentials it worked. It did have me trawling through the logs for a while, checking and unchecking the multi-proc box and even restarting the build server in my hunt. Check the obvious stuff first...
