Can't write .pln file to Documents Folder


Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

I'm having trouble exporting my PFPX (v1.28) Flightplans to my Documents Folder with the C:Drive - I believe this may be a permissions issue, but I think I have set the folder owner set correctly and have also ensured that access is set to 'Full Control' (including 'Write Access') for each user group added just in case.

 

I always ensure that I right-click on the PFPX icon and 'run as administrator' prior to opening so I'm not sure exactly where I'm going wrong here...?

 

Any help/guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Stephen.

 

I've located the Hotfix as suggested and followed the instructions by unzipping and then placing in the correct directory (see below) - however, when I then attempt to run the PFPX application I am presented with this message (also see below). Any ideas on where I've gone wrong here, or exactly what I need to do to fix this?

Hi Stephen,

 

It appears that the file 'may' be blocked (see screenshots below) - my security software then removes the .exe file immediately after I attempt to run it. However, even after I tick the 'unblock' box, press apply, and then attempt to 'trust' this file, I'm finding that the same messages still appear.

 

P.S is this even a safe file to be running anyway if my security software is flagging up such a threat level?

Hi Stephen,

 

File has now been excluded from Norton (manually trusted) and I have restarted my PC to ensure the change takes effect (see below) - however, having opened the new PFPX.exe (1.28.9i) and again attempted to save my Flightplan to my Documents folder, I still seem to have the same 'can't write to file error' that I started with originally (also see below).

 

Can you let me know the next steps I should be taking please?

 

I'd like to keep going until this is all resolved as I'm sure there's something that I'm missing - I think I just need a keener eye and perhaps someone with a greater technical knowledge than myself to spot it for me.

Exactly as I thought, a keener eye was indeed able to spot the issue - thanks very much for all your assistance Stephen, very much appreciated (see screen shot below confirming success)
