Can't compile executables

Post by MarcinW » Fri Oct 30, 2020 5:46 pm

Hi, I've had this issue for a while now but it got really bad now.
Initially 1 in 5 times after I compiled an exe it was gone not to be found anywhere. Over time the issue got worse, right now getting a compiled executable is like finding a four-leaf clover. During compilation I can see the exe appearing in the folder, but then right after confirmation that it has been compiled successfully it disappears. Sometimes choosing a different name before initialising compilation helps, then it compiles successfully most of the times.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

This sounds like it could be related to some kind of security software you have. Could that be it? I'm not convinced Macro Scheduler is doing this.
Yes, we have a Custom Scripting Service. Message me or go here

Seconded. Your security software is seeing a .exe being generated, thinks that must be suspicious and is deleting it. Whitelist Macro Scheduler in your security software, or temporarily disable it to confirm.

Yaw peoples are weird! The .exes have just moved on to a bigger and better place. Be happy for them.
