Hello,

Do you have write access to the following path - C:\Users\donnie\Documents\Fiddler2\CustomMimeMappings.xml?

Yes.  That is my user directory.

Hi,

Would it be possible to check if the file exists? Please, before checking ensure that hidden files and folders are shown - link.

Yes the file does exist.  I was able to get Fiddler to open without this error by opening Fiddler as Administrator.  So the file does exist; however, I am having issues decoding SSL as well and I believe the same security issues that was causing this error are the same that is causing my SSL decode issue even when Fiddler is opened as Administrator.

 

Thanks,

Donnie

Hi,

Please, excuse me for the delay.

Opening Fiddler as administrator should not be necessary. Try deleting the file and then start Fiddler as user. It will recreate the file and this should fix this problem. However, keep in mind that you have to back-up your current file if you have made any changes to it.

About the HTTPS decryption - did you trust Fiddler's root certificate?
