Jump to: navigation, search

Review of 10 Raid bugs to summarize the possible causes for fatal error F2039 (Delphi).

Reasons why an output file could not be produced:

  • You don't have the required write permission for the directory
    • check the access privileges of your application
    • make sure your source is not on a read-only drive
  • This message can result from a linker (RLink) error, possibly due to finding unexpected versions of the .dcu, .bpl, and .dcp files
  • The process (.exe) is locked by another process

C++Builder users can also encounter this fatal error message. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  • It seems that something within Delphi has the file locked but the Linker doesn't know about that. After restarting the IDE the problem is gone.
