VS402478- locked process templates issue - visual-studio

Just trying to delete and re-upload new process templates but i'm getting a VS402478 error saying the template is locked.
Who or how were they locked and how do I unlock them?
I can't find anything on the VS402478 error online.

I know this is an old question, but to clear this up for anyone who comes across this question, here is the answer:
The templates are now locked, which means that you cannot make changes to the shipped templates. To create a custom process template based on a shipped template, simply export an existing template, give it a new name and version, and then reimport it by using the Process Template Manager. Existing projects are unaffected by this change, which means that they can continue to have their process customized by using witadmin

I was using TFS 2013.4 with VS 2015.RTM and got this message as well. When I switched Visual Studio to VS 2013.5, it worked.

azure function file function.json on a different location

While developing Azure functions, I started to get the error the function.json file couldn't be found on
"C:...\FunctionApp1\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\bin\function.json".
I realized the function.json file is generated but on a different location
"C:...\FunctionApp1\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\Function1\function.json"
This started to happen long after I was developing azure functions with no trouble!
Any idea why this started to happen and how to fix it?
Thank you in advance
Actually, the default azure function project will output the function.json on the bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\Function1\function.json folder as you said rather than bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\bin\function.json.
In my side, the function.json will not appear under bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\bin\function.json and I wonder why your project search on that location rather than the Function1 folder. It is quite normal and I did not get the same issue on my Azure Function project. I wonder whether you have done any changes to your project.
Suggestion
1) close VS Instance, delete the .vs hidden folder under the solution folder, bin and obj folder. Then, restart your project to test again.
2) try to create a new azure function project and then test whether it happens on the new project.
==============
If the new project also gets the same error, you should check whether you have installed any third party extensions that caused that situation
disable any third party extensions under Extensions menu.
do a repair in Vs or update VS to the latest version
If your new project did not get this error, the issue is related to your project itself. You should check every file carefully to prevent changes to function.json file and try step 1. Besides, you can also migrate your old project into the new project.
In addition, any feedback and detailed description about your issue will be expected and if I misunderstand your issue, it can help me locate the issue in the right direction.

Getting a "vspscc could not be found in your workspace, or you do not have permission to access it" error

Today, while trying to publish an app so I could test it, I suddenly got this error message:
The item
D:\ScratchSrc\TryNewReportViewer2017\TryNewReportViewer2017\TryNewReportViewer2017.csproj.vspscc
could not be found in your workspace, or you do not have permission to
access it.
That's a mystery to me, as I've never gotten this before and I was working with this app just last week. Publishing it, too.
I've looked for the .vspscc file. Found it exactly where it said it should be. So, the alternative is that I don't have permissions to it. I don't understand why I shouldn't have permissions to a file on my machine that I created, but whatever. So, how do I get permissions to my own file?
I'm working with VS 2017, TFS 2015 on premise.
This issue may due to the wrong source control binding for that specific xx.vspscc file.
Double check your source control bindings for that file in TFS. You could also try to unbind and rebind the file.
Then delete the file in local(back up local changes first) and get latest version from TFS. Finally do the publish again.
If above solution is still not working, try to delete local workspace and create a new one, get latest version of the file, modify the file with local changes (if you have) in your backup , check in the file, then do the publish .
Another reason for this problem is, that the vspscc file is not checked in.
Just do a "Compare" on the project folder to see, if it's missing.
If the csproj.vspscc is missing you can create a new one by removing the project in visual studio and adding it back
I was able to 'fix' the problem by going to the source control explorer, selecting the smproj file (which was checked out for editing), and checked it in by itself. Then, I checked in the Model.bim. Was able to do both of these things without getting the error.
I also tried all the usual things, deleting the entire solution directory, getting it from TFS again but nothing worked.
Noticed the version of Visual Studio 2019 was a few months old so upgraded to the latest. That fixed it!

Visual Studio and windows store error 0x80073cf9

when I use windows store for update application and when in the visual studio for create new project univesal
show error 0x80073cf9
As this error could be caused by a variety of reasons thus I think you could try as many solutions as you can.
First, please check if the folder “AUInstallAgent” is missing from the Windows folder. If it is, you might need to create a new one, then rename it as “AUInstallAgent” and reboot your device.
Another method is to wipe the Store caches. You could type “wsreset” command in Start menu and try to launch the Store again.
Also, I thinks this thread from answers forum can be helpful to you.

Unable to save changes to files in Visual Studio 2013

I have a Visual Studio 2013 solution that is under source control (TFS, Visual Studio Online). It is mapped to a local workspace, I have checked out some files (e.g. web.config, global.asax).
When I try to save any changes to files I get a 'Save File As' dialog, and if I hit Save it warns me the file already exists (say, web.config), and asks me if I want to replace it. If I hit Yes I get I get an error dialog saying 'the process cannot access the file '....\wyfvmjia.p1p~' because it is used by another process. I have no idea what this file is or how it is related to the file (web.config) I am trying to save.
This is infuriating, any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT 1:
It looks like the Visual Studio process (devenv.exe) is creating and deleting random temporary files in the same folder (e.g. wyfvmjia.p1p~) and is causing a 'sharing violation' on those files (I used a sys internals utility to monitor the folder) when I am trying to save let's say web.config.
EDIT 2:
This seems to suggest in one of the comments that VS2013 creates a copy of a file and then replaces the original when trying to save a file in your project. This would explain why I see temporary files getting created and deleted. It's odd I get the 'Save File As' dialog though. It looks like some other process (antivirus?) gets hold of the temporary file before VS can do something with it?
EDIT 3:
I created a console application project with only a program.cs file and the same is happening. This may be a problem with Antivirus software interfering with the VS2013 'copy-replace' feature.
EDIT 4:
Changed title. Still have not been able to find a solution.
EDIT 5:
See the accepted answer. Apologies for not getting back earlier.
For me it was Google Drive.
Once I've closed it, I was able to save the file.
Try running Visual Studio as Administrator.
Extensions might be the problem. Or you could be opening some readonly files.
It's worth to mention that some of the extensions can turn any file you create in to a readonly file, and this would be the same result that you're facing.
So first, disable all extensions, and check for the little icon near the files's name (in the tab) that indicates a readonly file.
It turns out this was caused by disk encryption software. Disabling the disk encryption software services each time after starting VS2013 solves the problem. I did not have this problem with earlier versions of Visual Studio, presumably because of the new copy-replace cycle adopted by VS2013 mentioned in EDIT 2 in my original question.
Apologies for not coming back to comment and answer my original question, I completely forgot about it.
I had the same problem and it was caused by "Backup and Sync from Google". After I’ve closed it everything went back to normal.
I had this problem as well. It went away once I uninstalled VS 2013 and installed VS 2012 instead. Good enough for me.
I had the exact problem on a company computer. I had to uninstall VS 2013 RC2 and reinstall vs2013 ultimate. Then I had to go through the update process for update 1. I believe it must by the Symantec progressive scan along with the VS 2013 upgrade handling of files. I guess the moral of the story, if I can be so cliché is "If it aint broke don't fix it".
I had the same issue and created a bug on Connect. Let's hope this gets fixed
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/860265/unable-to-save-files-in-vs-2013-update-2-rc2
I got mine fixed by making a copy of all the files with git clone then deleting all old files and pasting the copied versions over it. Not sure how this fixed permissions or an antivirus denying permission but it did
martijn_himself sounds correct, problem could be because of Disk Encryption Software. This problem started om my PC when i changed settings (domain etc) on Disk Encryption Software. and a simple "Update 2" for VS2013 fixed this issue.
I had the same problem with only one html file in a project. For me it seems to have something to do with VPN that I was using to upload this html file to CRM system. Whenever it was on it seemed to "block" the file somehow. When I closed the window where I was uploading the html file I can save without any issues.
I tried all the suggestions here but none worked. Then, with the modified file open in Visual Studio, I navigated to the file on disk and deleted it. Then clicked build and the save file dialog no longer popped up. I was able to build and check in.
For me, it was Windows' Controlled Folder Access, even though I didn't get the standard warning/error. In "Allow an app through...", I had to add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\WDExpress.exe
(Backup and Sync from Google) when I close it The problem vanished

creating setup of a project in VB6.0

i have created a application in VB6.0 which is connected to MySQL through ODBC connection,there are two dsn which connects to application.Now i want to create a setup of the application that i can install on any computer.but how? I tried using Package and Development wizard in VB but it gives me error "access denied ieframe.dll" something like that while installing it AND also after using that wizard,now all my forms are corrupt.I craeted new and i don't want this to happen again.Help me!!
tired googling now!!!
I am not sure of the version of VB6 you are running, I do know that there was an InstallSheild Light version that shipped with Visual Studio 6 Professional. It was an optional install. If you have your original installation media try looking for it. There was also Visual Studio Installer 1.1 that used to be available from Microsoft. I found a link on Web.Archive.org that still works. I have used this to build msi files for VB6 in the past. You need to have Visual Interdev because it gets added as project type to it.
And since you mentioned that the Package and Deployment Wizard corrupted your project, you should make a backup of your data or use some type of source control. It will be a lot less painfull to recover when problems occur.
First of all, I take it that the two DSNs are not relevant to this problem?
I have never seen the error "access denied ieframe.dll", but I would guess that you are trying an installation via internet explorer. I would try creating a standard application installation.
I have to say that I am surprised to hear of "corruption" of your forms. Do you really mean your source code? Or this the forms in the executable. In any case, you really should be using some form of source control.
In any case, if you want a better answer, try giving a step by step run-throught of exactly what you are doing.

Mark
