SDK browser crashes without admin rights

[Andre]

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed the newly released Telerik-OpenAccess SDK (2011.3.1116.3).

If I start up the SDK as user (no admin rights) I'm getting an error message "Access to path denied" and the SDK browser crashes. I'm attaching the stack trace below.

II found a related post (Jan 2011) here, stating that is issued will be addressed in upcoming releases:

Has this issue been addressed meanwhile?

Regards
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

 What you have found in the forum thread was actually an another issue. While you run the application without specifying "Run as administrator" it is UAC aware and requires administrator rights and runs with them (it should ask you for right, if you haven't disabled the UAC notifications). The process that is failing is actually refreshing the assemblies in your sample cache's dependencies folder with the ones that were installed in your install location. 

As you know when you start an example its contents are copied to a cache folder (by default C:\Users\<your-user-name>\AppData\Local\Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK\Dependencies) and are then compiled and run. Can you double check there aren't any Visual Studio instances that have solutions with references to that dependencies folder. At last you can just delete the dependencies folder and restart the application. 

Do let us know if that works for you. I am looking forward to resolving this issue with you.

Hi Serge,

I just had a look inside the folder C:\Users\<your-user-name>\AppData\Local\Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK\Dependencies: it is empty on my PC. I just deleted that folder and started the SDK Browser again. The program still crashes.
Any further idea how to resolve that issue?

Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

 Can you give us a bit more detail on your exact setup, operating system, version of the SDK, whether the UAC is turned on. When you run the application as an admin, does this issue still persists? We are trying to  reproduce and study the problem, but so far we haven't had any luck in doing so. 

I am looking forward to resolving this issue.

Hi Serge,

setup: while encountering the crash, I'm using a domain account that does not have administrative rights.
operating system: Windows 7 Professional, build 7601: service pack 1
version of the SDK: I'm using the latest version 2011.3 1116.3 (Nov 16, 2011)
UAC: if I log in as local user with admin settings, I can see that UAC is turned off
if I log in as local user with admin settings, I run the SDK successfully.

Please let me know if you need any further information or action from my side.

Regards
Andreas
