Re: [Ifeffit] demeter on xp access for all users (Bruce Ravel)
Hi Bruce, Thanks for the help I attach two text files of what I got back from perl –V for a user and for myself. they to my eye are identical I can change the default pdf viewer on the system if I want , not sure if a user could. In terms of logs the user never gets that far. i.e. no %appdata%\demeter directory is created or log file residing there started. This does get written for me. I tried turning echo on to see if I’d see anything but the command window doesn’t stay open for long enough. I assume thus the log file is failing to be written causing the program not to run. the path on the user account looks ok i think PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\NuGraf;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin; Thanks Fred -- This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential, copyright and or privileged material, and are for the use of the intended addressee only.

Hey Fred, That seems like a likely candidate for the source of the problem. What is %APPDATA% for you? What is %APPDATA% for a regular user? (In a comand window, type "echo %APPDATA%".) Demeter expects to be able to write to that space, so the user needs to have write access. If it cannot, it currently does not handle it gracefully.
