FlashDevelop Error Creating New AS3 Projects in an Existing Project's Directory

If you try to create a new as3 project in a directory of an existing project, you may get this error:

Could not create the requested project:  The file '...\expressInstall.swf' already exists.

...or similar error for "swfobject.js'

Careful!Don't delete these files or remove bin/ and create a new project b/c it will overwrite existing classes like Main.as!

Your best bet is to copy your the entire existing project directory to a new directory and create a new project there. Then, copy over whatever is overwritten into the new project directory, and test build.
