visual studio - NuGet.exe pack gives access to the path is denied

Question

When I try to pack my MVC project (NuGet.exe pack) I get:

NuGet.exe : Access to the path '...' is denied.

This happens to be the case for all files in the content and script folder of my MVC solution. If I remove the readonly flag on all these files NuGet.exe is able to create the NuGet package.

Why do I have to remove the readonly flag? Is there another way?

I'm using TFS which specify the readonly flag on all files under source control.

I am running:

• NuGet Version: 1.7.30402.9028
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel

I'm using the NuGet.exe that you get when you install the NuGet package NuGet.CommandLine which is located at http://nuget.org/packages/NuGet.CommandLine.

Answer 1

Apparently, you need to set ReadOnly=false for the files it accesses
