I remember this from my 2.6 days and we got around it by doing what you said. Move the application to the C drive and compile there. We had all our apps out on a network drive. When the developer wanted to update it they would check it out to their c drive. Make their mods then rebuild the exe. Then check the app back into the network drive. If they would make their mods on the network drive and build the exe then they would get the error you are talking about.
