EDIT: Turned out to have nothing to do with Darkbasic, surprisngly a firewall issue although I had DB allowed.
All Comodo users, Defense+ causes this.

So lately I've been having this horrible problem with compiling the game, always when I compile it the second time, I get error:
"Could not create F:\etcetc\Game.exe"
And after few tries
"Failed to 'CFileBuilder::AddPCKToEXE'"

Darkbasic doesn't seem to clear game.exe and game.pck from the folder and cannot overwrite them either.
I need to delete them from game folder, and the most times also %temp% folder. I need to do this about 5 times for it actually to work and it seriously breaks my workflow to use 1 minute to test the game for just a second.

Seems that the game folder is read-only, but because it's lousy Windows 7 I cannot even change it.

Yes, DarkBASIC has been ticked to be launched as admin.

Version is the 7.7 RC7
