Team city cannot copy pagefile.sys because it is being used by another process

I am trying to get TeamCity up and running for a CI / CD server. So far I have it connected to my Git repo, it pulls the repo and builds. Great.

Now I am trying to publish it. (My web server is also the CI server and agent).

I keep getting this error:

C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\f56e1490ff15a5c4\P4P.Web\P4P.Web.csproj(1373, 5): warning MSB3026: Could not copy "\pagefile.sys" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\P4P\build\pagefile.sys". Beginning retry 8 in 1000ms. The process cannot access the file '\pagefile.sys' because it is being used by another process.

It ultimately fails and fails the entire publish process.

C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\f56e1490ff15a5c4\P4P.Web\P4P.Web.csproj(1373, 5): error MSB3027: Could not copy "\pagefile.sys" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\P4P\build\pagefile.sys". Exceeded retry count of 10. Failed.

C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\f56e1490ff15a5c4\P4P.Web\P4P.Web.csproj(1373, 5): error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "\pagefile.sys" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\P4P\build\pagefile.sys". The process cannot access the file '\pagefile.sys' because it is being used by another process.

I found this ow SO. I tried downgrading the Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform and Microsoft.Net.Compilers packages to 1.0.0. I have even tried removing them entirely.

I have looked at all csproj files for references to these packages (including the package.config). Nothing.

I have no idea where to even begin to fix this.

My server is running Windows Server 2012 R2. I installed VS professional.

Any ideas?

What exactly are you doing when you say you're "trying to publish it"? Where is your output coming from? – sferencik

I encountered the same issue.

The problem starts when you upgrade the DotNetCompilerPlatform to version 1.0.1.

To work around this issue you can downgrade to version 1.0.0 using the NuGet package manager.

EDIT: If you uninstall Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform AND Microsoft.Net.Compilers, and then install the DotNetCompilerPlatform (has a dependency on the Microsoft.Net.Compilers package so it will automatically install that) package again the error disappears for good so it seems.
