The program is made by SoftWright and is called TAP, which is used for radio 
propagation analysis.  The relevant parts of the error message are:

Note that 1 file(s) were found that were not indexed because of errors.  There 
could be errors in the data file(s), or these could be files that are NOT topo 
data files that the program tested to try to index and failed.

Like, I said, pretty generic and not very helpful.
