Windows 7 & Teststand 4.2.1 - Saving ini-files

Hello,

i am using Windows 7 and Teststand 4.2.1 which is just both fresh installed.

When closing Teststand i get the attached error-popup.

Solved. I had to add  a the current windows-user to the "Sicherheit"-tab of the National-Instruments-Folder and give this user "Vollzugriff" to all files below.

I will now uninstall 4.2.1 and install TS2010 to check if my sequences will work there too. (Had problems using TS2012 thats why i was on 421)

The reason you get access denied is because on Windows Vista and above the program files directory is a protected directory that is intended to only be writable by admin users. You are not supposed to change this. It is on purpose for security reasons. The reason DatabaseTypes.ini is in this protected directory is that you generally should not be modifying it. You should instead either create your own new type palette file, or use MyTypes.ini located in C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2012\Components\TypePalettes

 

Hope this helps explain things.
