Could you please let me know what the issue might be… I am giving the file name as C:\SoftwareAG\IntegrationServer\pipeline\FlatFile.txt.

Thanks

Two things can give this error as for as i know.

  1. Registry setting may be incorrect. check this registry entry - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\batfile\shell\edit\command] . Check for any invalid character in the value, if so delete and save. Try to run the service again.
  2. Check the system protection tab in System Properties. There should be only one C drive configured and protection should be off. If there are two C drives configured delete the one which is not having Windows logo.

Thanks Prasanna for the suggestion…What would be a normal value to be there in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\batfile\shell\edit\command

Regards

C:/SoftwareAG/IntegrationServer/pipeline/FlatFile.txt
instead
