How to fix Inno Setup error EndUpdateResource failed (110)

Question

When compiling an Inno Setup installer script I get this error

Line: xx Resource update error: EndUpdateResource failed (110)

line xx contains

SetupIconFile= pathToIconFile

What causes the error and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Found the solution after quite a google session

Win32 error 110 = "The system cannot open the device or file specified."

It's probably having trouble writing to the newly generated installer.exe. Check the permissions on the output directory, and disable any anti-virus software.

I disabled my anti-virus and the error disappeared.
