Unable to create a unique work directory <variable>. You may wish to check manually before Retry. A Cancel here will EXIT CA Gen.

Each execution of CA Gen requires a unique workspace for temporary work files. When CA Gen starts, it attempts to create a directory named WK followed by the current system time in hours, minutes, and seconds. CA Gen deletes this work directory when it terminates.

Since the same combination of hhmmss repeats itself every 24 hours, the work directory name could already exist for several reasons:

• Another execution of CA Gen is using it.
• It was not deleted because CA Gen ended abnormally.
• Retry retrieves a new system time and should correct the problem. You should manually remove any unused work directories from the disk.
