Issue
When running TreeTech revision 3.1 or 3.2 attempts to open projects and edit object properties could result in the following error messages:
"Failed to start viewproperty.exe. Verify path is correct"
"Failed to start propeditor.exe. Verify path is correct"
Environment
TreeTech 3.1, 3.2
Windows XP,Vista, 7
Cause
In TreeTech 3.1 the default path for projects was changed to support newer operating systems.
Operating System | Default Path |
Windows Xp\P | C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\TAC\TreeTech\Jobs\ |
Windows Vista/7 | C:\ProgramData\TAC\TreeTech\Jobs\ |
In revision 3.2 the path changed to use Schneider Electric.
Operating System | Default Path |
Windows Xp\P | C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Schneider Electric\TreeTech\Jobs\ |
Windows Vista/7 | C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric\TreeTech\Jobs\ |
This can be seen live by creating a new project in TreeTech and observing the default path.
Resolution
Due to the fact that any previously created projects will not be moved when installing TreeTech revision 3.1 or 3.2 these files must be moved manually to the new default path. Once the project has been moved it will function normally without the error messages.
