I have installed Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 in my laptop. I want to build an .exe file for my VB.NET application sample.vb .

i tried to build an .EXE using visual basic compiler(vbc) then i changed my command prompt path to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 and executed following command

  vbc /r:System.dll /t:exe "D:\sample.vb"
i got the output as below:
Microsoft (R) Visual Basic .NET Compiler version 7.10.3052.4
for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 1.1.4322.573
vbc : Command line error BC2012 : can't open 'sample.vb' for writing
i don't know why it is giving me the command line error BC2012 error and what am i missing. i have checked the vbc and system.dll files in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 directory, they are existing.
Any one please help me to build an .EXE to target .NET version 1.1
                This is usually the error you get when you try to build a project that is already running. Do you have a startup script launching the application by any chance?

                Man you are lucky. You run an OS that can do that old stuff. Ouch. What interest do you have in something that ancient -there is nothing to be learned from .NET 1.1 these days.

                The copyright is funny, an Oracle product might get in the way :)  Best to use /out explicitly perhaps.
