I keep getting a message saying the "Assembly-CSharp.dll.mdb" is denied

Symptoms

• I keep getting a compiler error whenever I use C# in my game.

Cause

You are creating a game on a Windows machine and you a receiving the following internal compiler error when you try to compile your project:

"Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\...\Temp\Assembly-CSharp.dll.mdb" is denied."

Resolution

This error is caused by one of the following:

• You have an anti-virus software that is blocking the connection.
• You need to have administrative privileges within your network to run the Assembly-CSharp.dll.mdb file in your Temp folder.

To stop this error from appearing, you will need to ensure your connection is not being blocked by an anti-virus software:

• Close the entire unity application
• Disable any anti-virus that may be blocking your connection.
• Locate the Temp Folder and delete it entirely

Then you will need to change the admin privileges for the file causing these issues. Go into the folder:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Unity Projects\New project\Temp\

• When you locate the Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll file, right click Properties.
• Click on the Security tab and then click Edit.
• Select your required group or user names and check the Allow box for Full control.
• Click Apply
