KB887818 : “Cannot copy assembly”...

I am really fed up with this error in VisualStudio. Luckily I am not the only one experiencing this problem. Frans Bouma as an ISV is also pretty anoyed that the fix can't be downloaded directly. Well I always forget to put the hotfix on my usb memory key and have to call (again...) to get this hotfix.

Here is the knowledge base article for those that need some extra information:

  FIX: You receive the “Cannot copy assembly” message when you build a c# solution in VS.NET2003

Hehehehe, Frans has written about this a number of times. I had some other problems as well, and it sucks that you can't implement some solution you like best, because of this patching stuff. I cannot think of many (large) companies that had the "guts" to install .NET 1.1 and then are willing to install a number of patches, that they have to call Microsoft for themselves! They cannot believe this policy and just won't do it.
