Error exporting product [message #1066359]

I am starting to look into building an e4 app to replace our existing 3.x.

I downloaded Kepler eclipse-rcp-kepler-R-win32-x86_64.zip

I added the e4 core tools, e4 - http://download.eclipse.org/e4/downloads/drops/I20130628-1600/repository

Created a e4 application using the wizard and ticked the activator and sample parts.

I run the test.product and it works fine.

I then hit export and get the following error. It does not actually say what the error is or indicate how to solve it. Searching for similar errors goes back to 3.6.

C:\workspaces\temp\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\temp\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\package.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86_64.xml:89: The following error occurred while executing this line:

I managed to track it down so documenting for ref.

You get this error if the export path contains an invalid pathname, one that contains invalid file name characters (*? etc in windows). Instead of getting an invalid pathname error you get the above message.

Adding to Phill Perryman's comment, I'd like to comment that the invalid file name characters, on our case, were the spaces on our Eclipse install path.

We had to change from C:\Eclipse 2019-09 to C:\Eclipse_2019-09.
