VIMP crashes after splash screen

As the title and topic description says...

 

When I start VIMP it crashes. It happens always (except after the installation of VIMP, so generally speaking I could also just reinstall and the problem is fixed for 1 time :))

 

When i check the log it tells me that there are some permissions issues. Now the error log seems pretty straightforward to me but I'm wondering how can I fix this?

Can you try running VIPM as administrator and see if that helps? It looks like you have a file permission issue.

 

Which version of windows are you using?

 

Thanks,

Ah thanks! Running it as administrator solved the problem! I didn't (forgot to) tried that.

But to answer your question (don't know if you still need the info) i'm using windows 7.

I'm happy to hear that you got this working.

 

You really shouldn't need to run as administrator in Windows 7 (but, it's a good work-around) -- there's probably a permissions issue with some of the files VIPM touches. I'll ping the JKI team and see about the official way to resolve this issue.

I don't have a group called "Authenticated Users" but the "SYSTEM" and "Administrators" group, they both have the same permissions as in your screenshot. The "users" group has only "read" & "read & execute" marked. What is strange is that one "group" is missing namely myself the user "WG-"

 

What I can tell you is this:

- When I change the permissions of the "users" group and mark all permissions, VIMP works without using "run as administrator". When I change it back it doesn't work anymore.

- When I add myself "WG-" to the permissions it works.

 

I think the problem could maybe within the installation at the moment when the files are exported and the permissions are set.

Some questions:

  • Did you perform an upgrade on an earlier version of VIPM?
  • When you ran the VIPM 2010 installer. Did it run as administrator? You can tell because Windows would have asked you with an elevated permissions dialog (example here).

If the VIPM 2010 installer did not run with elevated administrator privileges in the first place, then this might be the problem.

I would like to know the answers to the above in order to prevent any future problems for new releases of VIPM. So your help is appreciated.

 

Just to wrap things up and fix your current problem. Do the following:

  1. Open an administrator level command line prompt in Windows. You can tell if it's administrator level because it will state: Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe in the titlebar. (more info here)
  2. Run the following command exactly as shown:
    cmd /C icacls C:\ProgramData\JKI /grant "Authenticated Users":(OI)(CI)F /T

This should solve your problem and you will be able from then on to run VIPM 2010 as a normal (non admin) user.

Sorry for my (very) late reply. After the fix with the "run as administrator" it was solved for me. However...

 

The answer to the first question is definitely no. I just did a clean windows and LabVIEW install at that time. To the second question I can't really remember. But I would presume no.

 

Thirdly I still run it as administrator, as I said above. I just tried your fix but it didn't work. The shell command says something like (I can't translate it 1:1 to English), "Authenticated Users: There have been no allocations between any usernames or security-id's". So I would guess there is something wrong with the ""Authenticated Users":(OI)(CI)F /T"-part of the command. However I still fixed it because I set the privileges manually, I just thought I would let you know.

 

And FYI, I'm familiar with shell and windows however more with Linux then windows ^^

What language is your Windows? Is it a non-english operating system? This might be the key to the problem.

 

However, I'm also concerned that it did not ask you permission to install VIPM. Have you disabled User Account Control in Windows?

Yes my operating system is Windows and yes the language is set to, in my case, to Dutch.

 

About the second part. As I said I'm not very sure that it did ask permission, but I presumme that it didn't. And no user account control is not disabled in my Windows.

 

What I suggest is, is that I should maybe remove VIMP and try to install it again (However question from my side regarding this, when I remove VIMP, can't I use OpenG and the other things in VIMP then no more?)
