I/O error, sounds odd. Are you sure you can write to the directories where the code is installed (the compiler needs to do this)?.

In general the first thing to do, is to re-install the compiler, from a clean download, and try a short one of the example programs. If this works, then move to your code.

'Error 103', normally means a numeric value is out of the allowed range (you get this if you try for example to use a switch statement with a value above 65535).

It's a Delphi error code. CCS uses Delphi to write their Windows IDE program:

Which goes back to my thought about not being able to write to the directory.

A Google on Delphi I/O error 103, suggests it is a common problem with networked drives. It also seems to happen if you have two copies of some programs open 'at once', with a semaphore then not being settable. Also, if the application was installed as 'super user', and then you try to run it, without write permissions.
