From: Joe McGuire on
Tried it again, this time saving it to my desktp. Watched WMM go from 12
minutes remaining to 9, then up to 10, then back down to 9, 8 and then
7--where it stopped and reported the same error. Tried it a 3d time, now
from scratch. Put all the source files in a single folder. Same error
message.
