BIBM v1.61 will not build on diskette

Installing BIBM 1.61 on a diskette results in an abort with the message “Unable to write to file bootitbm.ini”. Installing BIBM 1.60 on the same diskette does work. With v1.60 after clicking the Finish button I get the messages “Please insert a 1.44MiB formatted diskette in to drive A:. WARNING: All data on the diskette will be erased.” and then “WARNING: All data on the diskette will be erased. Are you sure you want to continue?”. Neither of these messages are shown with v1.61, just the bootitbm.ini error message. I am using BootIt Collection.
Creating a BIBM v1.61 iso works fine and installing IFD v3.34 on the same diskette also works fine.

It may be out of space, untick one of the options you don't need (IFD or
Scripting). Or just install from a CD/DVD, UFD or use a 2.88MiB floppy
if you can find one and the media.

Thanks, the diskette was indeed out of space. I had not thought of this, because the diskette station had not even started writing and I could not tell from the error message.
I used to be able to also install scripting (IFD was never possible on a 1.44 MiB diskette), but the BOOTIT file has grown from 593 KB in v1.60 to 594 KB in v1.61. That 1 KB increase was apparently just too much
I have now unchecked both scripting and IFD and BIBM fits just fine.
Edit: when I select IFD to be included and want to write to a diskette the program asks for a 2.88 MiB diskette. It might be a good idea to do the same when Scripting support is selected.
