IMAPI_E_STASHFILE_MOVE
IMAPI_E_STASHFILE_MOVE is specific to changing the IMAPI2FS working directory after stash files already exist. Microsoft documents that put_WorkingDirectory throws an exception if existing stash files cannot be moved to the new location. The failure is therefore about migration of temporary image state, not creation of the final optical image.
Inspect both old and new staging locations
- Record the previous and requested
WorkingDirectorypaths. - Check source-file accessibility, destination permissions, free space, and cross-volume move behavior.
- Determine whether the application can configure the desired working directory before adding content and creating stash files.
The safest design is to set the working directory early and leave it unchanged for the lifetime of the image builder. Retrying a move while other software is scanning or deleting temporary files can make the state harder to diagnose. If migration is unavoidable, preserve the lower-level storage error and verify both volumes. Rebuilding a fresh image in the new location may be cleaner than moving a large active staging set.
