OMRCONFIG.INI Location

[jasonb007]

Hi,

 

We have been using iPads for our registration system but due to technical issues had to revert back to OMR and registration sheets. All is working in principal but when the OMR sheets are printed, they do not align properly. We were told to go into OMR setup and print a test sheet which we have done and then change the settings.

 

When we try and do this and click save, we get an error that the omrconfig.ini file cannot be saved. I've searched for the file but cannot find this on the system.

 

Does anyone know where the default location of this file should be or how I can solve this.

 

Many thanks

Ours was in c:\windows and I had to give everyone full rights to the file before it would accept any changes to the printer alignment, even if it was done by an admin...

Thanks Andrew.

 

I thought this might be the case but it seems the Windows folder is write protected so cannot create the file. I will see if I can change any permissions to allow this.

 

Thanks for the info.

Hi All,

 

Just had this problem so went googling. Just to add that this can be resolved by creating a new text file in c:\Windows and then rename it to OmrConfig.ini

 

Then grant full permissions to a user/group for that file only and sims will write to the file and populate it as needed.

 

Thanks
