Specifying a geodatabase layer as the output instead of a shapefile will fix the error. Also make sure you have all the necessary default fields in the feature class.

I'm linking to this good advice in the "Arc Hydro Problem Solvers" thread. Thanks!

Ah. "Arc Hydro Problem Solvers" thread. That's a good idea. It will be helpful for the users. Great effort!

i would like to thank you mr nidhinkn for responding and i need to say that this tool do not let me specify the target file or its extension 😕

The target locations are set via the Arc Hydro toolbar. After choosing "Set Target Locations" choose "hydroconfig". This should give you the default locations for the Arc Hydro geoprocessing.

I rarely set this manually. I use the "Reset Target Locations" tool shown in the pic below. If your mxd is saved in a different plance than when you started the Arc Hydro project, resetting the target locations is required so Arc Hydro knows where to get and put the data.

Also, doing processing over a network can result in errors like this. Check out the Arc Hydro Problem Solvers via the link below my signature for other solutions to Arc Hydro problems.

Hope this helps.

I am getting a very similar runtime error with any tool that I try to use. I reset the target locations to the defaults as recommended, but still have the error.

Could someone please elaborate on this advice from nidhidkn:
<<Specifying a geodatabase layer as the output instead of a shapefile will fix the error. Also make sure you have all the necessary default fields in the feature class.>>

I'm confused because when I tried to point the raster outputs to a file geodatabase, it wouldn't let me since rasters have to be in data folders, and cannot be stored in geodatabases.

In my Arc Hydro experience, the rasters used in Arc Hydro go to a folder with the same name as the Data Frame. The vector data goes in a dataset with the Data Frame name inside a geodatabase with the mxd name. The rasters do not go to a geodatabase.

I am also having a very similar error, where even if I try to reset my target locations it is still having a fit.

I have installed the latest version that was just published 2 days ago and I get even more errors now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I see "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component" I immediately consider working on the project with the Arc Hydro data on my local drive and not on the network. For me this has fixed many otherwise unexplained errors and has sped up the processing significantly. I've posted this and other solutions in the link below my signature.

Is your output going to a network or a thumb drive? If so, change it to local drive. Also, I've found that creating a whole nw input/output folder and starting the whole process over sometimes clears the gremlins. Try deleting all the contents of your app data temp direcory.

Mark: I get the following error (see attached). I have made sure the target locations are set correctly as you have described. My files are on local drive, and I have also gone through the "Arc Hydro Problem Solvers" thread.

Can you kindly guide me in solving this error.

System Info:

Windows 7, 64 bit

ArcGIS 10.2, ArcHydro for 10.2

Often closing ArcMap and rebooting the system clears this kind of error up also.

Did you solve this issue, Mallya? I faced the same problem, while I am sure that the target database is correct, temp files are cleared.
