we are developing a Winform application in C# and Visual Studio 2010 which we publish to a folder on our server. We use the ‘installation folder URL’ field in the publish tab with ‘http://server/folder’. The problem is that if more than one person trying to install or update the application on their machine, the install or update will fail and the error log says it is has timed out, I have added the contents of the log file to the end of this post.
It seems like a some kind of locking is going on, the folder we publish to on the server has read only permission. We have tried many things, like using ‘Clean Solution’ and ‘Rebuild Solution’.
Does anyone know about this problem or have any suggestions that might help. Thank you for you help.

In the end the conclusion we were able to gain was that the server is not setup for hosting and we used our hosted service to store our files.
