Problem:

I have just installed the Winbatch Compiler (96B). and I get an "encode error" with a message that it was unable to create an output file.

Answer:

It sounds like your TEMP environment variable is not pointing to a valid temp scratch area. The Compiler needs a directory specified in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, with the line TEMP= to be set to some temporary directory. For example:

         TEMP=C:\TEMP

Add this line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if it is not already in it. And if it *is* already in it, then make sure the directory the temp variable points to exists and is writeable.
