Issue
When I try to start my configurations or to connect a tool, I receive an error message which mentions another user and the ToolLibTemp.
Examples:
Could not create temp directory C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\ECU-TEST 2020.1\ToolLibTemp: [WinError 5] Access is denied: '\\\\?\\C:\\Users\\USER\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\ECU-TEST 2020.1'
Could not create temp directory C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\ECU-TEST 2020.1\ToolLibTemp: [WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: '\\\\?\\C:\\Users\\USER\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\ECU-TEST 2020.1\\ToolLibTemp'
Solution
This happens if the TempDir path in the ToolLibs.ini
points to one fixed user. Normally the path should be relative and look like:
[General] TempDir = %TEMP%\ECU-TEST 2020.1\ToolLibTemp
In some cases the ToolLibs.ini
is created with a absolute path to one user, so that other users cannot access it.
To fix this issue there are 2 different workarounds:
The ToolLibs.ini is stored under %allusersprofile%\TraceTronic\ECU-TEST[VERSION]
.
If the active user does not have write access to %allusersprofile%
, the ToolLibs.ini is stored under %localappdata%.
From within ECU-TEST you can also open the ToolLibs.ini
with the shortcut Ctrl+F11.
