Sophos Bootable: There is a bug in sbavc.exe. I am unable to create the iso due to a mkisofs error on Win 7 Pro x64.

When I run "sbavc.exe sbav.iso" on Win 7 Pro (Sp1 with all updates) x64 I receive the following.

C:\sbav>sbavc.exe sbav.iso

  • Hello Me Bot,

    I don't think it's mkisofs.exe - I also get the warning and I assume it can be ignored. When I run sbavc.exe (Win7 Enterprise SP1) the warning is followed by ISO image successfully created. I'd say the actual error is MoveFile failed with error code 2.
    This is somewhat strange. sbavc.exe first checks whether it can write the target file. It then creates (your user's) %Temp%\SophosBootableAvTempFolder\sbav.iso and tells mkisofs.exe to use this for its output. When mkisofs.exe has finished sbavc.exe "moves" the temp file to the target. Can't say why it fails with the File not found (that's the meaning of 2). Process Monitor (Filter Path - ends with - sbav.iso) should show the details of the error.
