This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DEPLOYPROJ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DEPLOYPROJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
