Hello,
I have tried searching this subject, and found a lot of helpful suggestions. Unfortunately, none of them have worked. I'm trying to figure out what could be left.
So, the full error is shown in the attachment. Just to explain, we have a laptop in our lab with a login of "eng_lab" - that is our username. We also have very strict controls here on permissions, installations, saving to network drives, etc.
What I have tried:
- Building file normally. Failed
- Checking the Temp folder for "read only". The box was filled in (blue square). Clicked to deselect read only entirely. Closed, tried to build again. Failed. Checked again, box was filled in again.
- Using ProcessExplorer to remove any other programs using that folder. Only thing left was LabView (a single DLL file I could not close). Still failed.
- Closing the anti-virus program using ProcessExplorer. Still failed.
- Saving to network drive. Failed. Gave another Error 8 message, but different than in the attachment. Same thing, though, permission error
- Saving directly to the C: drive (instead of to the desktop) to try to eliminate the user name aspect (I was getting desperate at this point). Failed. Still gave the same error as in the attachment
What I have not been able to try:
- Logging in from an admin account and seeing if that works (trying to get an IT person to help on that)
- Disabling firewall (can't do that without admin rights)
Are there any other causes for this error other than not having write permission to the file, the file being open or in use, or a program blocking writing to that file? Anything else I can try on my own?
Thank you
