VT Pro Access Denied


 

I keep getting access denied on any vtp. file when I hit save. The vtp, file turns into a bak. file when I save and the only way to save the current changes is to go the folder where my vtp. file is located and turn the bak. file back into a vtp. file and then hit save. Is anyone experiencing this? It seemed to happen in the last month.
I would greatly appreciate any help as I have spent 3 hours with Crestron support and they were not able to help me.



 

Do you have Dropbox/an alternative running? If so, stop syncing whenever you want to save. Then you can restart synching.

I will get the same error every once in a while. I was able to attribute it to our auto syncing software. All of our programmers have SugarSync running in the background and all programming changes are automatically uploaded to a shared folder. I have found if I try to save a VTP file in the middle of that upload I receive that error. I save syncing till after all changes have been made and I haven't seen the error since.?

Definitely stop any and all syncing software while using.?


 

I get that due to OneDrive every once in a while, sometimes with no warning or error. On a compile I end up with a good .vtz and a .vtp that didn't update. I have auto save enabled, so worst case my vtp.asv might be 5 minutes old.

I get this also but it¡¯s a bit worse for me.
The output file is generated but the source VTP is deleted while open. Very annoying.
Only happens a couple of times per week so I can recover...

I used to get this repeatedly, and of course it always followed my doing something intensive and just before an autosave happened...!

I narrowed it down to a problem with running the file from a dropbox location.

I now copy the file to a 'working folder' and then copy this back to dropbox once I am finished.

I have not had a problem with the VTP project being deleted since I started doing this.


 

Crestron told me it had something to do with the Dropbox file structure, something like that.?


 

I figured out the problem since I do not work out of Dropbox or any cloud storage due to all the issues mentioned above.

Only a few people I talked to had this issue, but it was due to the recent updated version of VT Pro all I did was just reverted back one version. It seemed to fix the problem now I can save with my vtp. file without turning into a bak. file and risk losing all my work.

Thanks everyone for your responses!


 

Try reverting to

VT Pro-e? 6

v6.0.01.13


It fixed the issue for me. No more access denied message.



 

Yes, Dropbox does the same for me, If I leave it running when VTPro or D3 is Running. ?As long as you keep it paused with either of those two programs, you're fine. ?Simpl never gives it an issue.

I generally keep it paused all the time till I want to sync. ?when I'm done, I repause it.

I am getting access denied when trying to open up a project. This is new. The project will attempt to open but then get access denied. I can see the folders but I can¡¯t open any pages. Anyone experience this? This seems to be the case on older projects using smart graphics.

Make sure you don't have Dropbox or any other syncing/backup apps running.?

Also make sure you don't have any non-friendly characters in the path name (including directories).?
