Summary

Internal error in the file DataTargetFile.cpp,line:86: "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Synopsis

This article will show you how to resolve the Error Code:132.

Discussion

Generally, this error occurs while InstallShield is moving temporary files generated from the build to the respective files, such as the .hdr file and .cab files in the DISK1 folder.
Deleting a file on the machine may fail due to one or more of the following reasons:

1. The user is not an Administrator.
2. The user does not have write access to the target path(Network Location etc).
3. Antivirus software or security-related software or both is interfering with the file deletion process.

Resolutions

1. Make sure to build as an Administrator.
2. Make sure that the current user has write access to the target path(Network Location etc).
3. As a test, temporarily disable antivirus software and security-related software to see if the issue still occurs. If the issue no longer occurs, re-enable the antivirus software and security-related software and add an exclusion / exception for the InstallShield build output folder so that the antivirus software and / or security-related software does not interfere with the build process and allows the file deletion process.
