Visual Studio is not releasing .ispac file

I don't fully understand what this files is or what it has to do with running in debug mode. When I try to start debug I get this message. I tried quitting the project and closing the solution. Shutting down Visual studios all together. The only thing that works is restart of computer. I am hoping someone can give me a beter option.

Hi @WilliamBurke-1905 ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

If you try to kill the following process DtsDebugHost.exe in Task Manager, will this issue disappear?

Per this document: Project Deployment, the .ispac file is a project deployment file.

At the center of the project deployment model is the project deployment file(.ispac extension). The project deployment file is a self-contained unit of deployment that includes only the essential information about the packages and parameters in the project. The project deployment file does not capture all of the information contained in the Integration Services project file(.dtproj extension).

It seems the .ispac file will be locked by the debug process during debugging, and kill the DtsDebugHost.exe task may work.

Best Regards,
Tianyu
