A recent thread on hugin-ptx was dealing with the same error message.

| This appears to be the result of a number of issues:

| environment variable to icpfind.  I didn't know this when I wrote (2)

| detector.

Could you please doublecheck whether you have set the temporary
directory path in preferences/file names?
