What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install tesseract
2.Write commands in command line
3.Try to create a text file from English image

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A text file containing the letter of tif image.I see the error
"Cannot create output file output.txt"
My command line codes:
cd C:\
cd Program Files
cd Tesseract-OCR
tesseract C:\Input.tif output -l eng

I tried tiff instead of tif in the command, could not open the input file
then.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Windows7 and Windows8.1 tried but failed,works fine in Windows XP but my
laptop does not support XP.
Please provide any additional information below.

I downloaded the installer from here

This is error message from you system (Windows7 and 8.1) that does not
allow tesseract to create output.
So you need to find reason why your system does not allow it.

I had the same issue and read this comment and thought about the fix!
Basically, you need to make sure tesseract is running as admin. In windows
7, right click on "tesseract.exe" and select properties. In the
compatibility tab, at the bottom, check the "Run this program as an
administrator" box. This should fix it.

I have attached a screen shot.Hope this helps
