Configuration??????????????

[Bruce Caulley]

I have been trying to clean up all of the configs used here and have come up against a problem. In c drive there are folders mcam9 and mcam91. We are running the new september update and I have changed all of the paths to folders under the mcam91 folder and renamed the mcam9 folder to old. Now when I attemp to open MC I get an error stating that c:mcam91tempdb.obf cannot be found. There is no such folder or file anywhere. If I rename old back to mcam9 it will work, but I need to try and standardise the 3 pc in the cam office.

 

Thanks

Thank for the reply, but I am not exactly sure what you mean. Do I need to reset something. What is db.obf?

Immediately after this error it says Not enough memory and then closes.

Bruce,

 

Do both folders have the same sercurity properties?

Is it possible that the permissions are not the same?

[Bruce Caulley]

Greg

 

Same security. I will try and nut this out with IT. All the same any suggestions are welcome.

Bruce !

not db.obf but db.ovf

 

In screen->configure ->files->data pathes ->temporary files specify the right path to your temporary folder

by default commontemp

Take note :for multyusers and multysessions the best thing to specify to every user his own temporary folder

I run into this alot. I have my customers do the following:

 

Uninstall the previous Version 9 Release

 

Rename the Mcam9 folder to Mcam9old. This way you still have access to any files left in the folder

 

Go ahead and install the new release and let it default to the new Mcam9 folder.

 

The uninstall will only clear the registry, it will not delete the folder.

In my experience you can always uninstall the old mastercam and you should.

Uninstall of mastercam will never delete files which it didn't create at installation so your data is safe. Secondly all registrey problem solves doing this.

Not a must .

I have a couple of V9 different releases and 8.1 plus Vx peacefully coexisting .

You need sometimes to get into the registeries and cfg files if you want to go my way
