My .Net 2010 Development environment is properly configured with ClearCase. Checkins and Checkouts and rest of the operations work normally from within .Net IDE. The problem occurs when I try to build the web setup project.

In PreBuildEvent, I am executing .vbs file to change the build version number. If I try to build the web setup project without checking out the .vbs file, it fails saying :

Building file 'x:\Release\WhateverApp.msi'...
Starting pre-build events...
Access is denied.

If i checkout the .vbs file, it builds successfully.

Can someone point me in the right direction what should i look for to make sure it builds the project successfully without checkingout the file.

    If we are talking about a snapshot view (on c:\... even though you mounted said view on the X: drive letter), then you can hijack the file in order to avoid the checkout step.

    By default in a ClearCase view, a non-checkout file is read only.
    So that means you want to set the file attribute to read-write without notifying ClearCase.
