ERROR

Winpress.exe has generated errors (ArcPress)

Last Published: April 26, 2020

Error Message

This error occurs when running ArcPress:

Error:   
"Winpress.exe has generated errors"

Cause

There may be a space character in the input or output file path, or there is insufficient disk space.

Solution or Workaround

  • Allocate more disk space by clearing out the TEMP and TMP directories, and deleting any unused files.
  • Check the TMP and TEMP variables and ensure there are no spaces in the paths. For example, in Windows 2000, the TEMP and TMP variables are set to the following path by default:
     
    Code:
    c:\Documents and Settings\<profile name>\temp

    Replace that path in the system variables with c:\temp. Be sure that the temp directory exists on the c drive.
