        Hate to state the obvious, but it sounds like the directory
        VC wants to write the build logs to is not writable to the
        user currently running the build.

        You can get this if, for instance:

                > the directory is on a file server, and was extracted
                  by a different user or from a different machine
                  than the current user. (For instance, extracted by
                  administrator, then built as a normal user)

                > Or, if you've successfully built the library before
                  as administrator, and now you're logged in as a
                  regular user, and this user doesn't have permission
                  to overwrite/erase the logs from the administrator's
                  previous build..

        Stuff like that.

        Find out where the build logs are being written, open a DOS
        window, and simply test if you can overwrite those files. eg:

cd \path\to\build_log_dir
echo foo > the_build_log_filename.htm

        If you get a write error, that's the problem.

        You can then use the usual operating system techniques to
        fix the perms, eg:

cacls the_build_log_filename.htm

        ..to see what the ownerships of the file is, and then change
        them by being a user with sufficient privilege to change them.
