If you want to build to a network drive, you can either open the build specification in the project and change the target folder to be on a network drive, or you can move the entire project to the network drive, and because the paths are relative, it should probably work correctly. If you don't know how to setup network drives, look that up for your relevant operating system.

In the hope that this comment will help someone else...

 

I came across this post when I had the same build error occur today. Had been building with my laptop with no problems at all for a couple of months, then today no project at all would build due to this file permission error.

 

I couldn't use the network drive solution, but found turning off my virus scanning software (McAffee) solved the problem and let me successfully build.

 

No idea why this suddenly became an issue today, but there you go!

Anyone getting Error 8 on build, note there's now a nice Knowledge Base file on this. URL currently is https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019LcXSAU&l=en-US

In case that URL is changed, the title is "Error 8 with Application Builder When I Create an Executable"

 

I was getting the issue with Copy Error Files selected in the Build - it worked fine on my primary laptop but not on another PC I use. This article specifically mentioned that issue (as well as possible AV/Firewall issues).

Hope this helps!

you can try authority all users to access the C:/ to solve the problem such as :

Error 8 occurred at AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi -> AB_Build.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi
An error occurred while building the application. Either you do not have the correct permissions to create the application at the specified location or the application is in use.
