Build Failed.. could not remove existing resource...
Yes I see others have got this error.. but I have shut down everything and restarted... still a build fail.
This error occurs less frequently but it can be difficult to resolve when it does happen. If the PB was involved in a Search that is part of your Layout, the Search will be performed on a restart so it is best to perform a search on another resource before you restart. Do similarly for Guides. Then restart L4 and compile the PB first.

1. Where did the base text for your .docx file come from? (i.e. was it a document that you typed up completely from scratch in a current version of word, or was it something that you found elsewhere?)
2. If you .docx file isn't particularly large, you could upload it here for others to take a look at.

Did you build it twice and had the first resource open when you re-build it?
Are you running the latest version of L4? There was an error with automatically deleting the old PB when rebuilding it, but this has been fixed, I think.
Hope this helps,

Okay I tried the ideas you all listed.. and still was getting the error.
The text from this was copied from a document I already had. I have done this with 2 other documents already so this 3rd one gave a problem.
The solution for me was just RE-adding a PBB book. A long way around to fix this, but I am not attempting to do this regularly
though it sure is nice.

Others have had to resort to this as well.
