can't build EXE in AGS (3.2)

[LameNick]

Hi,
I just installed AGS for the first time and when i start the default game or a completely new game it runs without a problem but it wouldn't build an EXE and shows a message:"Unable to set EXE name/description: Unable to load the custom icon: EndUpdateResource failed"

Any idea what could be wrong? (I'm really sorry in case its just me, i'm still a total noob)

Hmm, I found this thread:

Looks like a weird, random bug...?

@Khris: thanks for reply, i checked that post already but didn't find any solution

also when i create new project it shows message: "Unable to set EXE name/description: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."

i tried to reinstall the program also disabled the firewall because when i try to update AGS it says there is no internet connection

nothing seems to help

I just got an awesome idea to take closer look at the folder structure inside the game directory and found that the Compiled folder actually contains a working exe file

so it does compile despite those error messages, hopefully those are just some sort of cosmetic issue...

I'm deeply sorry for panicking and wasting time of forum members it's really not that i am reckless, i'm just retarded i beg for compassion and forgiveness

Yeah, the other thread does mention that the compiling goes through regardless.

I occasionally get that message when I build the game twice in quick succession.

One thing you could try is disable your virus scanner; maybe it's interfering with the creation of the exe file.

@Khris: disabled my pandacloud antivirus and it worked perfectly! killed any worries left about buggy build, I can't thank you enough!!

You're welcome, glad we found the reason
I recommend Avast Antivirus btw, it's free and keeps quiet, no complaints so far.
