destination file write error

[Henning Wallgren]

Hi all,

I'm out of town and have just installed PB + other tools on a friend's
computer so that I can work on it. I keep getting destination file
write error every time I try to compile. Seems like there is some
quirky stuff going on with this machine. Any clues to what could
cause this?

Make sure your files aren't tagged read-only, which is likely to be
the problem if you're restoring from a CD.

Don't forget to remove the files from your friend's machine when you
leave!

Happens to me if I am recompiling a dll and I forget to close the app that calls it.

Tom,

Right On! My exe's and two of my database files had been tagged R/O.

Thank you.

You'll also get this error sometimes because the PB compiler is stuck, and prevents you from recompiling your app. The way I found how to get back to normal is to launch Task Manager (NT/W2K), go to Processes, and kill either WOWEXEC.EXE or NTVDM.EXE. Remember that PB/DLL is a 16-bit application, so requires Windows On Windows to run.

This can also happen if your exe hasn't shut down completly and it is
still runing in the background (a message loop left open).You can find out
if this is the case by opening the task manager ,you will see your
exe in the list.
