Error description

  • When an Administrator account installs the application and the
    FilepathSrv.exe process starts several files get created with
    the Administrators priviledges.  This results in access
    violation problems on files in the application data directory
    if a User Account later logs in and the FilepathSrv.exe
    process starts.
    When the user logs in  the systray popup will tell the user to
    check the View Report page or System Event or Application.log
    files.
    Inside the System logs files the user may see error messages
    6000,6002,and 6013  that contain text saying:
    "Failed to open PATH TO DATA DIRECTORY\launch_cdp_gui.url for
    writing result:5018"
    "PATH TO DATA DIRECTORY\replication.log The current operation
    is denied by the operating system due to permission"
    "PATH TO DATA DIRECTORY\replication-active5, The current
    operation is denied by the operating system due to permission"
    "PATH TO DATA DIRECTORY\metrics.xml The current operation is
    denied by the operating system due to permission"
