About 99% of the time I cannot get setup projects to build. I get the same
errors every time

Could not create the file
'C:\Users\colinp.NT\AppData\Local\Temp\VSI48A4.tmp' 'Access is denied.'

(where VSI48A4.tmp is different every time)

and then

Unrecoverable build error.

I have tried various solutions from the web including

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329214/EN-US/

However none of this works. I have even tried to uninstall and reinstall
Visual Studio

I am using Visual Studio 2005 SP1 on Vista. I would like to avoid having to
reinstall my PC.

Please help

One strange thing is that if I run Process Monitor (which slows the build
down) then the setup projects build correctly most of the time. Could it be a
timing issue?

I'm getting the same issue as well - including ProcessMonitor helping to fix
it.

I did, however, manage to get it fail while ProcessMonitor was running. It
appears that the temp file is marked for deletion, then the devenv attempts
to open it again.

I also had the same issue.
After removing 'O&O Defrag 11 - Professional Edition' the issue was gone.
