This issue has been solved. See solution.

I am new to SVS and finally figured out how to run HCLL (a bloodbank application) in SVS. However, when I try to export it to create a .vsa file, it gets 3/4 of the way thru then gives an error 18 (which I realize is a failure to open or read a file) and the cancels. Any ideas as to how to troubleshoot this problem?

Best thing is to double

Best thing is to double check permissions on your folders.

Are you on XP or Vista?

Open files

Most of the time error 18 is because of open files, and even when you de-activated the layer the open file seems to be there. There are several good post on how to trouble shoot this error. http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/troubleshooting-export-error-code-18 Regards Erik www.dvs4sbc.nl

Restart

What I usually do when I finish creating a layer is restart my virtual machine. Before I restart I make sure that the  layer will not activate on startup. After the computer has been restarted I edit the layer as normal. If a file or folder still won't delete I check the permissions.

Check the permissions and ensure a restart are what should work the best. Thanks.
