Error F8504

InstallShield 2019 » InstallScript Language Reference

Message

Can't open .inx output file

Description

The compiler was unable to create the file for the compiled script.

Troubleshooting Information

This error is generated if InstallShield cannot create or recreate the .inx file. Under normal circumstances, the following problems can cause this error:

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:
If the target file is in a shared folder on a file server, verify that you have network rights to write to that folder.
If an .inx 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.
