please help me to solve this error.

Can you post the log? Can you check the process tree and find out that which is the another process? — Ajay Kulkarni, Apr 04 '16 at 11:52
Please include a complete output of the Inno Setup compiler. — Martin Prikryl, Apr 04 '16 at 11:53
"error is occurred out cannot be generated" - what does that mean? — Martin Prikryl, Apr 04 '16 at 11:54
I am new to desktop-application. What is ISCC.exe file? sry for the inconvienence.. plzz help me.. thank you — Kalaivani M, Apr 04 '16 at 12:00
It's Inno Setup command-line compiler. It's part of Inno Setup installation. — Martin Prikryl, Apr 04 '16 at 12:13
C:\>iscc "F:\xampp\htdocs\isetup" 'iscc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. this error is occured ***IN command line execution* — Kalaivani M, Apr 04 '16 at 12:13
You have to use a full path to the `iscc.exe`, something like `C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5\ISCC.exe`. — Martin Prikryl, Apr 04 '16 at 12:14
C:\>C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5\isetup 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. again this error is occrred — Kalaivani M, Apr 04 '16 at 12:18
You have to enclose the path to double-quotes, as it contains spaces. Like `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5\ISCC.exe"` + Make sure you use a path to the `.iss` as the argument, not just path to the folder. — Martin Prikryl, Apr 04 '16 at 12:23

It may be an issue with other software you're running on your computer. Try closing all programs including those running in background. Found a similar issue caused by the Sync program:

The only way to use Innosetup in combination with Sync is to: close Sync, run Innosetup, restart Sync to synchronize the new file.

I had to turn off Dropbox and Avast antivirus. After, the error immediately went away. One of these probably locked some files.
