SBL-OSD-00034: Internal: Cannot create a new process (%sysError)

The above error by itself does not provide sufficient context to troubleshoot this issue. It is usually accompanied by additional error messages outlining the specific process that it was unable to create/run. For example in the case below

OSD-00034: Internal: Cannot create a new process (2)
SVR-04021: Internal: error executing OSSystem()
C:\Program Files\Resonate\bin\CDAction.exe -t 300 127.0.0.1 ****** status

Cause

As in the above example, the specific process it was unable to run was for "CDAction.exe", which is a Resonate executable. It was determined that the above executable was not present as all components of the Resonate software were not selected upon installation – so the installation in essence was incomplete. Subsequent installation of these components resolved the issue.

Diagnostic Steps

Use the additional error messages to build sufficient context and know-how about where and for what reasons the error is being reported. This should assist in the troubleshooting as demonstrated in the above case.

Solution

Not applicable since it is a generic message by itself.
