Can't compile Torque 2D, Failed to write the updated manifest to the resource of file "../../../Torque2D.exe"

#1 Never ran into this issue but a quick search reveals the following possible solutions

- Clean and Rebuild solution from scratch.
- Disable antivirus (which might be trying to scan the .exe as it is created)
- Run Visual Studio as Administrator.

Let us know if any of these solutions work!

#2 All these, and maybe disabling readonly flag for a folder and everything inside helped, not sure after what step. Now I have another problem.

When I try to run Torque2D from VS, it throws a lot of complains about "Cannot find or open the PDB file" for every dll it uses. It ends with this:

If I just run Torque2D.exe, it will appear in the task manager doing nothing and taking 25% of CPU.

#3 Unicode in folder path, moved it to C: and it worked.
