error while deploying application on emulator

[Murtuza]

initially every thing was working fine but not when I try run my application
on emulator I am getting the below error. It works fine on the square
emulator. I tried restarting the application but did't work.

Error 1 Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x8973190e. Error
writing file
'%csidl_program_files%\testui\microsoft.windowsmobile.samples.location.dll'.
Error 0x80070020: The process cannot access the file because it is being used
by another process.

Soft reset/restart the emulator. The target app is still running (like it
says).

Hello Chris,

I am also sometime facing the same problem (sometime only). I have used this
sample microsoft.windowsmobile.samples.location.dll in my project and
sometime it gives problem. I have observed that even if application is not
running, VS gives this error. I suspect that this dll opens some threads and
those are not stopped properly when application is closed.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Viral

That is exactly what happens, so that means te app *is* still running. Just
becasue it's not in the "running programs" list doesn't mean it's not
running. Use the Remote Process Viewer and you'll see it (and can kill it).
