I'd test on a subset where everything is in the same planimetric xy coordinate system.  Something is in WGS84 so I'd try to reproject that.

Hi, David. I'm working with planar set and a .shp document that I did in qgis

Error 999998 is a generic error that means something when wrong at an operating system level, and ArcGIS Pro does not have a message for it.

Raster/analysis processing can be very intensive and finicky with Windows. Would suggest:

* Try it with a smaller sample (small CSV, small extent). This will help show your tool is running correctly
* Increase cell size of output raster
* Close other applications to free up computer resources
* Ensure the inputs and outputs are on a local PC drive and not a external USB or cloud storage like OneDrive

Is the 'D' drive a thumbdrive? Can you work on a hard drive like C, then copy results to your D drive? Best to put whole ArcGIS Pro project on the computer and copy it off.
