Problem Title:
Place & Route in Flow Engine produces PPR error 5603: "Unable to open
.xtf file"



Problem Description:
If the Foundation tools (or other Windows applications) are
open at the same time as the XACTstep Design Manager/Flow
Engine, place and route may fail with PPR error 5603: "Unable
to open .xtf file".

This can happen if the FILES variable is too low.


Solution 1:

There are 2 ways to resolve the problem:

1) Increase the FILES in your CONFIG.SYS file.

2) Close some applications.
