CI failure (net48 x86): GenerateResource.cache is being used by another process

[carlossanlop]

.dotnet\sdk\6.0.100-rc.2.21505.57\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3264,5):
error MSB3101: (NETCORE_ENGINEERING_TELEMETRY=Build)
Could not write state file
"D:\a\_work\1\s\artifacts\obj\Microsoft.Interop.SourceGeneration\netstandard2.0-Release\Microsoft.Interop.SourceGeneration.csproj.GenerateResource.cache".
The process cannot access the file
'D:\a\_work\1\s\artifacts\obj\Microsoft.Interop.SourceGeneration\netstandard2.0-Release\Microsoft.Interop.SourceGeneration.csproj.GenerateResource.cache'
because it is being used by another process.

The failure happened in the CI of this PR: #59850

It was the net48 x86 leg:
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/59850/checks?check_run_id=4316507944

Here's the log:

already exists.

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

This is part of the build race. I’ll get this fixed after we update to the RTM SDK.

Thanks @jkoritzinsky .

I found a very similar failure in another PR. This time, it's not the *.cache file that is being used, but DllImportGenerator.dll:

#62134

Affected legs:

• Libraries Build windows allConfigurations x64 Debug (log)
• Libraries Build windows net48 x86 Release (log)
