Good evening, seems recently we are randomly getting this error, when users open a virtual app. So far we have seen this with Office 2010 and Mozilla. Actually these are the 2 major apps our clients use.

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Here is one in particular:
The Application Virtualization Client could not launch Mozilla Firefox 8.0.1.4341. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Error code: 4615186-00000729-00000020

At first we did not see it on our terminal servers, so we figured it was the anti-virus, then today it showed up on RDS to the terminal server. We are not running any antivirus on the TS's

If they close the error, it seems a 2nd reopen will work fine, but it is random, it will not show up then show again.

Any thoughts would be great.

Thank you!
Paul
