Noticed when debugging Windows Phone 7.1 or 7.5 Mango app made with PhoneGap (Cordova) 1.6.1. The same may apply to earlier versions. Visual Studio 2010.
Error 1: fails to build with the following error
Arg :: path to project\MyProject.csproj
path to solution\ MyProject\BuildManifestProcessor.js(14, 1) Microsoft JScript runtime error : Permission denied
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(1036,5): error MSB3073: The command "CScript "path to project\ MyProject\/BuildManifestProcessor.js" " path to project\ MyProject\ MyProject.csproj"" exited with code -1.
Reason: CordovaSourceDictionary.xml in the root of the project is read-only. Happened because it was included in the project and then added to source control.
Fix: Make sure that CordovaSourceDictionary.xml is not read-only before doing the build
The file CordovaSourceDictionary.xml is dynamic, generated on each build by a pre-build event
However, if this file is excluded from the project, you will experience
