Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions.
I started Enigma with no HOME environment variable defined, and it
started correctly, and created a directory in the Application Data
directory. When I restarted it with the HOME variable defined, I got the
original error again. I know that both my C and D drives are not full,
and I tested the HOME variable with both forward and backward slashes. I
don't have any idea how to give Enigma the ability to read/write/execute
to the d:/home directory, but I do need to figure it out, because I need
to keep my HOME variable for the variety of other programs I have that
use it. I don't know how difficult it would be to get the error message
to print out where Enigma is expecting to find the HOME directory, but
that might be a helpful trouble-shooting clue.
According to your information Enigma does not succeed in reading your
"HOME" directory "d:/home". As slash/backslash and upper/lowercase usage
does not matter as Enigma performs the necessary convertions the only
remaining reason should be access permission problems. Do you use the
HOME environment exclusively with applications running on another user
account like "administrator" in opposite to a privat user account under
which Enigma is executed?
During your experiment without HOME environment set Enigma did create
the necessary files at "c:/documents and settings/username/application
data/enigma". I added a special startup option to Enigma to allow the
location of the data to diverge from the standards - the preference path
(see reference manual chapter 1.1). Please try to start Enigma with the
following option:
enigma.exe --pref c:/documents and settings/username/application
data/enigma/.enigmarc.xml
This should start Enigma using the standard Windows paths even if you
have set a "HOME" environment.
Greets,
Ronald
