Err Msg: Unable to Open the Report File .\~cabpack.rpt

ID: Q158730

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit, version 3.2a

SYMPTOMS

When you run the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) Wizard, you may receive the following error message:

   Unable to open the report file '.\~cabpack.rpt'

This is followed by the following error message:

   Cannot create or replace Autorun.inf. Access is denied.

CAUSE

1. When you run the IEAK Wizard, you are given the option to include

   custom files. If you add any file that has the same name as a name
   on the following list, you will receive an error while building 
   the distributable files. When the Wizard tries to create the 
   customized version of the file, you will receive the errors 
   listed at the beginning of this article.

   The following files are used internally by the Setup mechanism for
   Internet Explorer and the IEAK, and should not be used as optional
   component file names:

      Iedkcs32.dll
      Install.exe
      Install.ins
      Iexplore.inf
      Activex.inf
      Addons.inf
      Iexplore.cab
      Infinst.exe
      Inst16.dll
      Inst32.dll

   -or-

2. This same error message also occurs if the user is including any

   custom executable to be installed along with IE and the executable
   is located in the same directory as the custom files.

RESOLUTION

1. Do not include optional components that have the same names as

   those files on the list of reserved file names above.

   -or-

2. Move the custom executable to its own directory before running

   the IEAK Wizard.
