Can't open propertyMap file: glest.ini

[d0minicB]

Hi

When i try to run glest my screen flashes white for a second then closes. If i try to run if through command, i get the error message of the topic. The file is present in the same folder tho, it is not read only or have any flags on it. The config utility can see and read it and write it. So i am a bit stumped as to this bug. Especially as from searching the forum i seem to be the only one with it.

I have just done a fresh windows XP install so my only guess as to the problem would be to do with .net 3.5 if you use it.

Thanks

Odd; perhaps you could uninstall/reinstall glest, unless you want someone to do some real-time troubleshooting with you some time.

I think its your security settings. Check them in the properties and make sure your user has 'full control'. Best to give every user full control, including registry and computer installers... I you don't have the sufficent rights, glest can't get the file right...

May also have to do with appdata... If the rights aren't correct, glest tries to use the appdata, and if you delete the file from appdata without the significent rights, dunno what could happen (probably nothing, as it is SUPPOSED to recopy it, but who knows).

Probably easiest to reinstall before trying my method to make sure that there was no corruption in the file. Redownload it, install, try. If it doesn't work, my method is VISTA based, but should work on XP.
