  ed.  The second problem is that a   temporary file is left

  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The underlying mechanism for retrieving output from a
  configuration check and for setting up a PX job run writes its
  data to a capture* temporary file under DSEngine/UVtemp.  On
  Windows, a retry loop was added in this code to handle
  instances where this file is still in use when attempting to
  remove it.  This helps ensure that the entire contents are read
  and that the file is cleaned up.
