2019: Common Error Messages in WebDrive

Error: “Can't open cache file. Error (2) - The system cannot find the file specified”

This will usually happen if the WebDrive Cache Directory does not exist, or if you do not have adequate rights to store files in the cache directory. Check the main WebDrive Cache Folder Settings and make sure that the folder does exist. Also try increasing the cache size in WebDrive. It's possible that the cache is filling up before the file is able to be transferred to the remote server. Lastly if you have antivirus real-time scanning enabled try disabling it.

Error: Setup fails with "uninstallshield is running" error

Most likely you have a corrupt IsUninst.exe, this is a known problem with InstallShield.
