Eagle 7.7 Access is denied

ande

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.

    Hello Antti,

     

    I hope you're doing well. What operating system are you using? If you

    are on Windows, did you allow EAGLE to install to the root of C like it

    wants to by default?

     

    The second symptom definitely looks like a permissions issue with the OS.

     

    For the first one, just disable file locking completely. If a .lck file

    was created then even if the feature is disabled EAGLE will still

    respect it. In that case you have to go delete the .lck file.

     

    Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    Hi Jorge,

     

    I thought it was just file locking when I first looked at it but it's

    actually getting an access denied error when trying to create the lock

    which I think means this is related to the second issue too.
