SmartComponent Library build failed while creating assemblies.xml file with OpenEdge 11.7

Problem

If you perform a SmartComponent Library build with OpenEdge 11.7

And you execute the following for generating the assemblies.xml file:

%dlc%\ant\bin\ant createAssemblies -lib Install/PCT/PCT.jar -f setup.xml -Ddlc=%dlc% -Dinstallroot=".." -DconfigFile="Assemblies\assemblies-generator.json" -DoutputFile="Assemblies\assemblies.xml"

The following error may occur:

proenv>%dlc%\ant\bin\ant createAssemblies -lib Install/PCT/PCT.jar -f setup.xml -Ddlc=%dlc% -Dinstallroot=".." -DconfigFile="Assemblies\assemblies-generator.json" -DoutputFile="Assemblies\assemblies.xml" 

Buildfile: C:\Work\Testing\build_82706_11.7.21\SmartComponentLibrary\Setup\setup.xml
