This error is a common one and also very tricky. The error itself is not very descriptive.

 

Permission problems is the common cause, but there have been some cases where the permissions are fine and it still happens.

If this error is caused by permissions then there are two possible scenarios:

 

•The account the process is running as does not have permission to write images to the target directory. Fix your permissions.

•The target directory does not exist. Create it first.

 

It may be difficult to tell exactly which directory or permission is invalid.
