External Resources: read only database

[mpytlak]

I have set up external resources and have copied/mapped PDFs to several of our projects. However - I have come across the following error in one project: "attempt to write a readonly database."
Has anyone experienced this?

I have made sure the respective project/files are checked out, and best I can tell, there is nothing different about this project than those to which I have copied successfully. Suggestions please.

Do you have by accident the Analyzer folder under source control? That is the only place where I can think of Flare would keep anything that resembles a database. It uses SQL Compact for analysis and if those files are under source control (they should not be because the content can be easily recreated) and not checked out then writing to the files will be impossible due to the read only flag. Just a guess.....

Analyzer is not checked into source control.

Analyzer is not in source control and I have made sure that the local Analyzer directory and files are not read-only. Still no luck.

Are you running Flare as Administrator? If not, try that. And if that isn't helping either then I am out of ideas as well.

Ran as admin, but still no luck. I suspect I will be opening a support ticket with MadCap. Appreciate your time.

After getting some excellent support at MadWorld, turns out that FileSync directory was checked into source control.

Removing FileSync from source control resolved my issue.
