compile_tool.exe output file can't be opened for writing

[JCBreaux]

I am trying to use the compile_tool.exe to create an inference engine blob for the human-pose-estimation-0001.xml file.  I've tried any number of ways to compile this and I always get the same result: "Output file C:\Users\jmburris\open_model_zoo_models can't be opened for writing"  I've tried not specifying the output file with -o, just letting it compile in the same directory as the compile_tool.exe executable, same result.  I've tried creating other directory folders, same result, and all directories I've created have write permissions.

c:\Program Files (x86)\intel\openvino_2021\deployment_tools\tools\compile_tool>compile_tool.exe -m c:\Users\jmburris\open_model_zoo_models\intel\human-pose-estimation-0001\FP16\human-pose-estimation-0001.xml -ip U8 -d MYRIAD -VPU_NUMBER_OF_SHAVES 4 -VPU_NUMBER_OF_CMX_SLICES 4 -o "C:\Users\jmburris\open_model_zoo_models"

Hi JCBreaux,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

I encountered the same error as you did when I executed your command.

However, I have successfully compiled human-pose-estimation-0001.xml using the following command:

compile_tool.exe -m <path_to_xml>\human-pose-estimation-0001.xml -ip U8 -d MYRIAD -VPU_NUMBER_OF_SHAVES 4 -VPU_NUMBER_OF_CMX_SLICES 4 -o <path_to_output_file>\human-pose-estimation-0001.blob

Regards,

Wan
