Installing fiddler and and first start receive the error unable to create following file :

the file never gets created

I've check one drive permissions and I have full permissions. Any  yes using OD4B

Is there a setting to change the location of the CustomMimeMappings.xml', I presume its one drive causing the problem

 

Thanks

M

The error indicates that the file is missing for some reason, which could happen due to missing access rights to access the folder or for similar reasons. I've noticed that your Fiddler folder is located in a Jenkins folder which leads me to believe that you are probably using a per-machine installation. If the above is correct, then you could try to install Fiddler per machine (by default, it is installed per user) as described in the following threads:

 

https://www.telerik.com/forums/default-install-path#4820665

https://feedback.telerik.com/fiddler/1441442-default-install-fiddler-for-all-users

 

Note that the Fiddler Classic application is originally not meant to work with the per-machine installation. Therefore, after going through the custom installation setup, you should verify that all needed functionalities are working as expected.

No answers yet. Maybe you can help?
