Dear spotlessmind1975,
I’m experiencing an issue with the ugBASIC IDE. I mistakenly installed the VICE emulator in the wrong folder, and now I keep encountering the following error:

IDE version: 1.17.1+3361ef1d8e97def88621cd9c67fe4b02b8afa3bc
message: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Eros\AppData\Roaming\UGBASIC-IDE\emulators' is denied.
[more...]

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to undo this mistake. I couldn’t find where the configuration settings are stored, so even when I try to change the VICE configuration path from the ide itself, I run into the same error.

Would you be able to help me resolve this? I’d really appreciate any guidance!

Thanks in advance.

cheers,
Eros

Hi Eros, and thank you for your comment!

If I understand correctly, you copied VICE to the directory "C:\Users\Eros\AppData\Roaming\UGBASIC-IDE\emulators": if so, simply close the IDE, rename that directory to something else (eg: "C:\Users\Eros\AppData\Roaming\UGBASIC-IDE\emulators2") and launch IDE again to solve the problem.

The error you are getting is because UGBASIC-IDE finds that file "locked", for some reason. This file contains (or should contain) the configuration of the emulators (the various paths and command line options), and the fact that it gives an "access denied" error means that the IDE is not able to overwrite it with the new settings. This could happen for two reasons: the file is locked by some other program or the file is a directory, and therefore it is not possible to write anything to it.

Let me know if it helps.

have a nice day!
Marco

Hi spotlessmind1975,
thanks a lot: with your help I was able (after a restart of Windows) to solve the issue.
