Errors: Read-only or Access denied error in DLL files

Scenario

When you're installing or updating DT FileCabinet, you may see a message that indicates that another program is currently using this file, access is denied, or that access to a file is read-only. The following files may be referenced in this error.
  • cabioifc.dll
  • cscabsv.dll (This file enables DT FileCabinet to integrate with other applications).
  • freeimg.dll
Error messages
Access is denied
cscabsv.dll file is read-only
the file cabioifc.dll cannot be written to

Solution

  1. Verify that no one has any DT Professional Suite or Microsoft Office applications open and then attempt the installation/update again. (These applications may hold these files open, which means DT FileCabinet cannot update the file.)
  2. If no one has any DT Professional Suite or Microsoft Office applications open, your IT professional should look for server locks that may be holding these files open and remove the locks. A server or workstation reboot may be necessary.
