I have installed MultiSim 9.0.41 has been installed on four workstations. The PCs reside within a local domain with ten users. The domain resides within the greater university domain, is technically not configured as a true subdomain, but it has access to university domain resources (such as the license server). We have SSO (remote profiles) functionality enabled.
MultiSim runs with without problems for admin users. We start having issues with nonadmin users. I series of pop-up messages appear when the program is launched:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine can not open the file C:\Program Files\Electronics Workbench\EWB9\database\mscomp_s.prd. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data."
"The Microsoft Jet database engine can not open the file C:\Program
Files\Electronics Workbench\EWB9\database\CPCOMP_S.PRJ. It is already
opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its
data."
"Error loading library C:\Program
Files\Electronics Workbench\EWB9\PCBComponentEdit.dll, ('998') Invalid access to memory location."
"The Microsoft Jet database engine can not open the file C:\Program
Files\Electronics Workbench\EWB9\database\mscomp_s.prd. It is already
opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its
data. Error Code:3051"
Solutions attempted (without success):
- Update program (no updates found via update manager or NI site)
- Run program as admin
- Give all users full permissions to program files (major security risk)
- Change "Directory for EWB Shared Components" to public shared drive. Interestingly, MultiSim shows the network drive as unwritable (though it clearly is).
Any ideas? Are there updates that fix this issue? Is this solved by the newest version? What do I need to do differently to ensure that user config files are saved in their roaming profiles vs. locally (note: I have already tried to correct the paths during install and post-install without success).
Thanks!
