Issue
Error message: "Failed to run DcuXml.exe" when importing I/NET .sav files into XBuilder
Product Line
TAC INET, TAC Vista
Environment
XBuilder 1.6.0
Cause
When XBuilder imports I/NET save files, it does a simple batch of all of the save files for the import process. It creates a path for the import into XBuilder. A typical path might look like this:
C:\TAC XBuilder Projects\MyProjectName\Files\INET\dcu0102,dcu0103,dcu0104
This example shows the import of 3 I/NET save files with a character length of 72 for the batch process. This process is limited to 2048 characters. Importing 15-20 save files will cause a crash.
Resolution
To squeeze a few more save files into XBuilder, shrink that path as much as possible. For example:
- Rename the default "TAC XBuilder Projects" folder to something shorter.
- Rename the project to something shorter.
- Move .sav files to another location, even temporarily to the C:\ drive root to eliminate extra path data.
Example: C:\XBPrj\MyPrj\Files\INET\dcu0102.sav. This path shrinks the directory at the front end to allow for more save files on the backend.
