POWERVIEW 5.3.1, WIR2XNF 5.x:Error 4 'Couldn't find workview.msg in WDIR'
Description
Change in PowerView 5.3.1 may cause WIR2XNF Error 4:
Couldn't find the message file workview.msg in the local or WDIR directories. WIR2XNF ERROR 4: Internal initialization failure : IWINIT FAILURE 1 Errors and 0 Warnings occurred during processing. Sorry, errors found, could not create output file
Solution
In the 5.3.1 release of ViewLogic's PowerView, the location of the workview.msg file is no longer in the <workview install>/standard directory. Because of this, the error message shown above is produced.
The file now resides in <workview install>/standard/531. Adding this path to the WDIR environment variable should solve the problem.
