Has anyone else seen this error:

The DPS is unable to start.
The following folder requires read/write access:
Backup

Temp


The permissions are OK. I *think* it could be due to Sentinel Ranger but I can't prove it.

I found this problem when I tried to Install DPS via Ranger Package Builder, If you install DPS manually on each workstation it works fine, I think its not concerned with Rangers coz we are running DPS with Ranger on the machines.

[beast_gts]

Yeah. I think the DPS must store the workstation ID somwhere Package Builder cannot get to it.

I'm installing .NET using Ranger Packages, then the DPS by hand. I wonder if Package Builder will work with the exam packages? They seem to just be MSIs...

I have seen this error on a couple of my workstations. As a quick fix I gave "everyone" access to the DPS software folder on the local hard drive for that one lesson. Not sure what the proper fix is though. As the permissions appeared correctly.

[beast_gts]

Tried changing the permissions. Didn't fix it for me (are they using the same message for multiple errors?)

Sylv3r: Are you running Ranger at all?

[nuttygeek]

That is a permissions issue you need to allow write access to
C:\Program Files\QCA Testing\Delivery Point System\TDS
and any folders below this.
It also states this in one of the many manuals of hell provided with the software

Yes I installed test on individual workstations using Package Builder, It works fine.
