You need to run VS as administrator. (right click on VS Icon- Run as administrator)

Answer 2

You need to do 2 things
1- remove the read-only tick from the project folder
2- when a save-as window prompts at build, just overwrite the project
next time you build, the window won't pop up

Answer 3

I solved the issue. When I try to save as this time it gives the error that file is being used by another process. Google Sync prevents to save so it opens save as dialog. You should put your project under a folder not sync while working.

Answer 4

Also, try closing sync. files tools like google backup and sync.

Answer 5

Are the bindings in TFS set up correctly with the new location? TFS will mark files as read only unless they get checked in. It might have been marked as such before you moved everything around, and now, isn't being checked out properly.
