Unable to build application from a project when not connected to a network

Hi all:
I used my company laptop at home (with wi-fi) and tried to "build" an application.  It always failed.  It even failed on a project with one form and no other object.  The error message was:

"Unable to write to output file 'C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\WindowsApplication1\obj\Release\WindowsApplication1.exe': The specified image file did not contain a resource section."
 
My computer workes fine on building applications when it is  connected to my office network .  Can anybody help   Thanks.

    Thanks Paul.  I've tried it.  I created a new project in C:\WA1\.  The error remained:
    "Unable to write to output file 'C:\\WA1\\WA1\obj\Release\WA1.exe': The specified image file did not contain a resource section.".

    Anything else that I can try   Thanks again.

    Nope. You would not lose your projects. I guess If you want to back it up, then manually copy the project folders to a different location...

    Hi,

    Do you have administrative right on your computer Also check if the project folder is readonly. Try reinstalling VB coz it might be the result of a corupt installation. If it still persists please report a bug in Product Feedback.

    Hi,

    Could you try creating your project in a different folder eg. "C:\myProjects\" coz it may be a security issue...
