ProgramData folder not being created

#1

Post by japes76 » Fri Jan 18, 2019 3:29 am

I am doing the server install, did a trial membership at schedules direct, setup the channel configuration and did the "save and execute". Log file indicates that the mxf was saved to the "ProgramData" folder. However, neither that folder or any mxf files can be found anywhere on my computer. I am running windows 10 - I was getting an access error, but searching the forum told me to run as admin, and I am no longer getting that error.

The folders had to have been there or you wouldn't have been able to read the log file. The trace.log file is stored in C:\ProgramData\GaRyan2\epg123 . Were there any errors in the log file, or any pop-ups that said it failed to apply permissions to any folder/file?

Just to note, by default the ProgramData folder is "hidden" from view and you have to enable showing hidden items.
