Error: Creating the build output folder '...' failed.

The folder to which the compiler outputs the binary files (project image is one part of the generated binaries) could not be generated.

Remedy:

  1. Possibly, another process accessed the respective folder at the same time thus preventing the write access and folder creation.
    Close any other software which may access the folder (e.g., Windows Explorer) and then rebuild the project or try the 'Write and Start' command again.
  2. If the error is reported again, verify that write permission is set for the respective parent folder.

    The path to the folder is set in the 'Options' dialog. Select 'Extras > Options' and open the category 'Tool | Directories'. The 'Binaries location' field specifies the output path.

  3. If the error message is reported again, contact the technical support of Phoenix Contact.
