MS Error

Post by fightcancer » Thu Oct 23, 2014 6:08 pm

"Unable to write to [path]\My Documents\Macro Scheduler 14\runstats.ini."

Then the macro hangs forever.

I have no doubt it's related to the incompetent admin in this office. I do not want MS to have to use that network folder. I'd prefer something local. Please help.

That's the standard Macro Scheduler data location. Normally in My Documents. But you can change it under Tools/Options.

Sadly, I cannot even open MS to change the path. Upon opening MS I get the error:

"Copy Folder

The [path]\My Documents folder does not exist. The file might have been moved or deleted.

Do you want to create it?"

There are buttons for Yes and No. Then I get the error:

"msched.exe

Unable to create the folder 'My Documents\'

The system cannot find the path specified."

There's an OK button. The final error is:

"msched.exe

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

The only button available is "Close program."

I have local admin access.

Search for groups12.ini you should be able to change the path in that INI file.

You might want to try removing/renaming the entire "Macro Scheduler 14" folder in "My Documents". Rename it temporarily, re-create a fresh empty one, then try restarting Macro Scheduler. Hopefully that will get it started, empty.

Copy comdef.ini over from the old one or Program Files/Macro Scheduler 14/Samples

Once you've got it started you can import your macros over from the old folder.
