You are best off contacting Illumina tech support about this error. If I was to guess you may be selecting a file name or some input that does not exist or is incorrect.

Probably... I will do that. Thanks.

Did you receive an answer to this? Have the same problem.

Hi, Just in case someone else is stuck at this. I got the same error message, what fixed it for me was setting the region format to English (United States).
