An error like this occurs.
Of course, I checked it through a search.
The explanation below is the way I tried.
1.Disable the vaccine program and delete the vaccine program
2. Permanently delete the program and reinstall it (repeated dozens of times)

Currently, if you delete a program and try to do the dishes again, you will succeed. But then the same error occurs. In my personal opinion, if you delete the program and reinstall it, you will only succeed in building it once.

How do we solve these problems?
Please let me know.

    One cause for this type of error is the presence of anti-virus program.

    A few others causes are documented in this page: http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/sdto_ccs_build-errors.html#ccs-gmake-errors
    Please review them and check through each point carefully.


    Also your build command looks odd.

    The "lnk_msp430f2410.exe" there is not expected. Make sure the "Use default build command" is enabled in the Project Properties->Build->Builder tab.


    When starting new with CCS, we typically recommend starting with example projects provided in TI software packages. For the MSP430, we would suggest installing the MSP430Ware package and starting with some of the examples from there. The Fundamentals Workshop for MSP430 would be a great way to get familiar with CCS. This will also help isolate whether the issue is in the tools or in your system.
