Both Optlink and Windows link fail with this :-)
(The error code Optlink gets from Windows when it tries to create the
EXE file is something along the lines of the EXE file is in use by
another application.)
It's odd that these fail because many/most virus scanners are written
using file system filter drivers which operate in the IO stack, blocking
CreateFile/open to scan the file, meaning most user processes don't even
notice them (except for a very brief pause on CreateFile/open).
