Is your exe read only? If you have an existing exe in the folder that isn't writable it can cause that error. Make sure you have write access then clean the solution and try again.

If torqueDemo.exe is already running, you can get this message.
Check process list and be sure it is not running.
I'm compiling with visual studio .net 2003 with no problem.

Restart your computer and open solution file (the file with "sln" extension) under "...\engine\compilers\VisualStudio.net\" and re-built solution.

Notes:
1- some times when you try to start torque.exe it starts but doest show, it's a known bug, It's fixed in final release but if you are using and old release you can find how to fix it around forums. You have to look at task manager's process list to end that process if this happens.
2- The torque binary files are already compiled at games directory, if you don't change anything from the source you don't need to recompile it. You can use that executable and change script files and graphics to create anything you want.
