The Operation Could not be Completed

Message
Starting the debugger process (debugging) in Visual Studio after changing some settings (i.e. in the app.config file) it comes out a popup with the following message: The Operation Could not be completed. 

Context
Debugging on Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010

Explanation
Visual Studio doesn't delete the vshost.exe files in the application folder after launching debug. It looks like a Visual Studio bug. The vshost.exe files needs to be manually killed after debugging, or we need to close and reload the project.

Solution
Go to the Property window of your project, open the de "Debug" tab, look for the "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process" option and uncheck/disable that option.
