I/O error on action file
Description
An error occurred when InstallShield attempted to access an intermediate file created during compilation.
Troubleshooting Information
Each time you compile your setup, InstallShield creates intermediate files with the following file extensions: .dbg, .ino, .inx and .obs. After compilation, these files remain in the scripts folder. This message is displayed when an error occurs on an attempt to access the action file; that file has the extension .obs). Among the possible causes:
| • | The disk is full. Create more available disk space by deleting unwanted files; then compile again. |
| • | There are insufficient system resources (file handles and/or memory). Close any other applications that are open; then compile again. If the error occurs on a system with sufficient disk space and system resources, investigate other obvious reasons why file access might fail: |
| • | The action file may be damaged. Rename it or delete it from the Scripts folder; then compile again. |
| • | If the action file is in a shared folder on a file server, verify that you have network rights to write to that folder. |
| • | If an action file exists from a previous compile, check that its file attributes have not been changed to read-only, system, or hidden. Check too that the file is not already open by another application or user. |
