Eagle 7.7 Access is denied

ande
ande over 9 years ago

Hi,

When updated to 7.7 I can't save or open files. When opening it says: Locking of  (folder location) schem_2.sch failed. Access is denied.

And when closing Eagle 7.7 it says : Can't open (Folder  ) eaglerc.~~~   -> Permission denied.

 

I haven't change any folder options and older version are working just ok.

    With regard to the original question, the first symptom is definitely being

    triggered by the file locking system being unable to create the lock file

    but reading the query again it seems there are other file permissions

    issues as it is also unable to access the eaglerc file upon closing.... So

    this isn't being caused by the file locking mechanism I don't think. I've

    not seen any issues like this with 7.7 myself and I haven't seen any other

    reports of people having this issue so I think this is something relating

    to their system somehow. This is probably one for the support guys to try

    and help out with....

    Hello,

    Just tried to disable file locking from options but no success. Still same message (Locking of.. failed...) and when I exit eagle the Permission denied pop up appears.

    I search whole PC and there are no *.lck files.

    Windows search rarely finds things that are actually there. The lock file

    will be in the same directory as the EAGLE files. Try showing hidden files

    and looking for it there yourself.

     

    You say earlier versions of EAGLE open the files fine, which earlier

    versions have you tried? If your earlier versions are before when this

    "feature" was added then yes they will be fine because they will ignore the

    lock file.

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Rachael
