Phill Powell 849479 Posted May 4, 2014 at 07:35 PM Author Posted May 4, 2014 at 07:35 PM Hi Ross, Sorry for the late reply, just back from taking my wife to the airport. It happened this afternoon, about 1200Z and persisted for about 30 minutes. In that time I restarted vPilot and rebooted the PC. I was going to add some WoAI European airlines as I'd had to have a clear out due to duplicate entries. Clicking on Settings/Model matching resulted in an empty Available rules set, window. Clicking on Refresh list gave the error message. I left it about an hour and retried and it was fine. Sorry I didn't reply then but I was late out the door for the trip down to Alicante. Still OK now. Many thanks, Phill Vatsim network supervisor VATeud I1/VATeir local examiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Powell 849479 Posted May 5, 2014 at 11:15 AM Author Posted May 5, 2014 at 11:15 AM Probably not at all related but this morning vPilot was not able to install the update. The error message said it could not access vPilot.exe and gave the path. Checking showed that for some reason C:/Users/Phill/AppData had become hidden. Correcting the permissions allowed vPilot to update. Phill Vatsim network supervisor VATeud I1/VATeir local examiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted May 5, 2014 at 12:45 PM Posted May 5, 2014 at 12:45 PM Each user's appdata folder is hidden by default ... that's normal. When you say you corrected the permissions, what do you mean?

Phill Powell 849479 Posted May 5, 2014 at 04:42 PM Author Posted May 5, 2014 at 04:42 PM My AppData file hasn't been hidden for years. Bad choice of words on my part Ross. I removed the tick from hidden on the AppData folder and allowed all subfolders and files to have the same attribute. vPilot then updated without problem.

Ross Carlson Posted May 5, 2014 at 05:10 PM Posted May 5, 2014 at 05:10 PM Strange ... never had that problem, nor did any of the testers after dozens of automatic updates. I'll keep it in mind, though. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Powell 849479 Posted May 8, 2014 at 08:22 AM Author Posted May 8, 2014 at 08:22 AM Hi Ross, You can put a line through this error, it's not a vPilot problem. I couldn't update this morning so I started a registry scanner to have a look. It too, wanted to update and returned a similar path access error message.
