you're better off googling for MSB3073 and seeing some of the answers - especially on stackoverflow on what (may be) causing this issue - there's too many reasons and not enough detail from you unfortunately.. Go over your post build steps with a fine tooth comb, looking for write protected files, directories that dont exist, the list is huge

Check that it is not a failure of the copy command, permissions, sharing etc.

Solution 1

You have acustom build steps with a "copy" command which doesnt work for now. It is somewhere in the settings of the solution/project. If you are carefully you can edit th .sln file with a textediotr. (But make a backup before)

Solution 2

I found my problem to be much like Solution1 but it was in the project (vcxproj) file and not the solution file.

Funnily enough Solution 1 said "solution/project" ... so you haven't really added anything

Solution 3

I was getting the same error using Visual Studio 2017. The compiler was unable to copy a dll to a folder. Later Found that the directory is Read-only. Un-checking the Read-only option and re-building the project helped me.
Hope this helps anyone.
