Encode Error: Output File Open Failed

Keywords:        compiler

Output File Open Failed Error:

This could be caused by at least 3 problems:

1. Trying to save to an existing file that has write protect on.

2. Trying to save to an invalid network drive.

3. Temp file is incorrectly set. Note that the Compiler will always write to a TEMP directory. If a TEMP= is set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, then Compiler will try to write there. If this variable is not set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, then Compiler will try to write to the Windows directory. So if you have a TEMP= set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and that directory is invalid, then you will get this error. Either create the directory manually that TEMP= points to, and set the TEMP= to this directory, or get rid of the TEMP= altogether if no other programs need to have it set.

For Windows NT 3.51, set the temporary directory in the Control Panel, System/User Environment variables. Make sure the temporary directory is set to TEMP=C:\TEMP.
