What does “exited with code 9009” mean during this

Question

What does this error message mean? What could I do to correct this issue?

AssemblyInfo.cs exited with code 9009

---

The problem is probably happening as part of a post-build step in a .NET solution in Visual Studio.

Answer 1

Same as the other answers, in my case it was because of the missing file. To know what is the missing file, you can go to the output window and it will show you straight away what went missing.

To open the output window in Visual Studio:

1. Ctrl+Alt+O
2. View > Output

Answer 2

I added "> myFile.txt" to the end of the line in the pre-build step and then inspected the file for the actual error.

Answer 3

Another variant:

today I call python interpreter from cron in win32 and take ExitCode (%ERRORLEVEL%) 9009, because system account used by cron don't have path to Python directory.

Answer 4

Check the spelling. I was trying to call an executable but had the name misspelled and it gave me the exited with code 9009 message.

Answer 5

I also ran into this 9009 problem when facing an overwrite situation.

Basically, if the file already exists and you have not specified the /y switch (which automatically overwrites) this error can happen when run from a build.
