FRC Labview file permissions build error

[marccenter]

Dear CD,

I am moving some files from my desktop to my laptop and when building on the new laptop I receive a file permissions error. I tried logging on as the administrator when beginning FRC Labview and that route did not work. What is the trick to making this work? Is part of the issue that Windows has multiple users on both my desktop and my laptop?

Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

I think running LabVIEW as an Administrator should solve your issue. Right-click on the LabVIEW shortcut, select Properties, click on the Compatibility tab then check the box to Run a Administrator.

If it's the error I think it is, the "file permissions" wording is a red herring. The true problem is probably that it's trying to build the .rtexe in a nonexistent folder.

Open the project and find the "FRC Robot Boot-up Deployment" build specification. Right-click it and choose "Properties" from the popup menu.

In the "Information" category, check the Local destination directory to make sure it matches the actual location of the project on the new computer. It's likely that the user name part reflects the location on the old computer where the project was created. Fix it and try building again.

Alan,
THanks! That was the issue.

BTW, a "red-herring" is a misleading clue (non-native speaking Americans). In this case the error message is not helpful in pointing towards the potential solution.

Same problem, same solution. Thanks Alan.
