I have been looking hours for a solution, but I don´t find it. I want to generate a satellite assembly with following command.

locbaml.exe /generate de/App.UI.resources.dll /trans:MeineRess_de.csv /out:de /cul:de

After executing I get following error:

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020)

Can anybody help me, Thx

Output to a separate folder try for example c:\ this would work

locbaml.exe /generate de/App.UI.resources.dll /trans:MeineRess_de.csv /out:c:\ /cul:de

For posterity: The file name without any command line flag is the original input assembly. So you're reading in de/App.UI.resources.dll and then /out:de is trying to write to the same file in the same folder. Probably you want to change de/App.UI.resources.dll to [UiCulture]/App.UI.resources.dll where [UiCulture] is the <UICulture> from your project file, which should match the NeutralResourcesLanguage attribute in your assembly (AssemblyInfo.cs normally).

Perhaps you legitimately want to overwrite the original DLL (though I don't think that makes sense), but this will not be possible as-is because locbaml will load the assembly from file, which holds the file handle open until the application exits. (Technically until the AppDomain is destroyed.)
