Issue with concurrent process for the generated file

My build is nearly perfect, but I get a strange issue :

Creating setup files
   Updating icons (SETUP.EXE)
   Compressing: C:\projects\chesspgnreviser\release\ChessPgnReviser.exe   (0.0.0.0)
Error in C:\projects\chesspgnreviser\windows_build.iss: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Compile aborted.
Command exited with code 2

I've joined the script and the complete log.

Maybe is it something related to the use of InnoSetup and the Deployment on Github on the same time ?

   It's unclear from the build log which file exactly is locked.

   Anyway, your best course to fix that is to login via RDP to build VM and using sysinternals tools see who is locking that file. Hope that helps.

   Thank you, I'm going to check the build steps with it.
   Is there a documentation page about the available sysinternals tools ?

   I've managed to connect by RDP to the VM, but I don't know which tool from the machine can help me see which process is locking the executable file.

   You can download Process Explorer while in RDP: https://helpcenter.gsx.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015880627-How-to-Id...

   I've downloaded the Process Explorer on the VM, but I did not have the time to search for the locking process. Because the system is halted as soon as Inno Setup build is started (line "iscc windows_build.iss" of the appveyor_v2.yml).

   And so I've lost the connection though I tried to block the RDP a second time. (See appveyor_v2.yml)

   Finally solved the issue : I needed to change directory when creating the setup file with InnoSetup (See before_deploy section).

   I've joined the final script
