| | Posted: | | | | When I try to update a DVD profile I get an error with the following message: Cannot create file "c:\ProfileOld.xml" I have to exit the program through the task manager as the Edit Profile window can't be closed without getting this error. I tried different profiles and I get this error everytime. Here's a screenshot of the error if that helps.  | | | | Mat | | | | Last edited: by nemesismat |

| | Posted: | | | | Looks like you are running Vista. Try exiting the program and run the program but run as admin, right click DVDp and select run as admin. I got the same error under Vista. You need admin rights to right anything to the root. Maybe there is a way to change the location where that file is created??? | | | | Last edited: by graymadder |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, it works when running in Administrator mode so it looks like a Security Permissions issue.
The program should try to write that file in the Temp or working directory instead of the C:\ root, thus avoiding the need to run DVD Profiler with elevated privileges. | | | | Mat | | | | Last edited: by nemesismat |

| | Posted: | | | | I got the error as well and I'm not running Vista. I've only gotten it once, but I had to use Task Manager to kill it. I think I was editing a profile at the time. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection. |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm running as restricted user on Windows XP and I'm geting this error as well. Shouldn't profiler write this file in a documented temp directory? Running as Administrator is not an option for me. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

| | Posted: | | | | I solved this problem by checking the box for running as administrator. | | | | in canada, no one can hear you scream |

| | Posted: | | | | Looks like a bit of debug code snuck in. Added to the list for 3.0.1. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | According to another thread it MAY still be a problem with flagging which apparently uses the C drive.
As an aside, even though it works for me I'd like to be able to put all the data somewhere other than under My Documents... is this possible with the present install or not.
(The reason is that on my Work machine it mirrors all data under My Documents onto the Network which puts me way over the official limit and also means someone looking at it may notice an awful lot of DVD covers on a works network drive and not like it...) | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

You should be able to change the directory inside DVD Profiler's database management now (the location of the Default database, for instance). At my place of work the "My Documents" link is a direct link to a network drive with limited quota. IMO the DVD Profiler database should be located inside the user's LOCAL (not roaming) profile and not in the My Documents folder. Database backups should default to My Documents (since they are user created). Please see my post here, which also includes a link to this insightful article by Raymond Chen. At the end of the day, this is Ken's decision of course and there's probably a 50:50 "majority" for either choice. | | | | Samsung UE55C6200, Yamaha RX-V2067, Xbox 360, PS3. | | | | Last edited: by mnemo |
