Hi,
I work on the Technical HelpDesk at Sherston Software - many thanks for the positive feedback regarding our service earlier in this thread. We aim to please!
This is a problem that occurs when trying to run Sherston Software titles from the same installation, on more than one workstation simultaneously (e.g. when running the program from a network share). It occurs because the first workstation locks the SWF files in the appdata subdirectory of the installation folder, preventing subsequent workstations from opening the files.
In many instances, this can be resolved by applying the read-only attribute to the appdata folder after exiting all instances of the software that are running (people are often caught out by attempting to apply this whilst a workstation is running the software - which doesn't work). If this doesn't resolve the problem for you, this should:
1. Exit all instances of the program running on your network.
2. Browse into the installation folder. Right-click the appdata folder and select Properties.
3. Click the Security tab. If the Security tab is not available, see the Additional Information section (below).
Important Note: Users of Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 or later should click the Edit button on the Security tab in order to edit permissions.
4. Select the Everyone group. If the Everyone group is not present in the list:
• Click the Add button.
• Enter Everyone in the Enter the object names to select: box.
• Click OK.
5. Place a tick in the Deny box against Write in the Permissions for Everyone.
6. Click Apply and then click OK.
