Error writing project file

[TomVM1]

Hello AutomationGuy !

I'm having exactly the same issue :
Error writing project file.

"c:\SVN\TBench\Test_DLL\TestDLL.prj"

(Badly formed pathname)

But I don't understand how you fixed it ? How can you edit the path in the *.prj file ?

Thanks for your help !
Tom

Tom,

This is Ali from National Instrument's applications engineering. I'm not quite sure what .prj file Automation Guy is editing but perhaps you could create a relative path?

Hopefully, he'll answer with more specifics in a bit.

If you open your "*.prj" file in a text editor. you will find many entries like:

[File 0004]
File Type = "Library"
Res Id = 4
Path Is Rel = True
Path Rel To = "Project"
Path Rel Path = "../../CTF2/CTFFileBasic/CTFFileBasic.lib"
Path = "/c/data/workdir/Projects/CTF2/CTFFileBasic/CTFFileBasic.lib"
Exclude = False
Project Flags = 0
Folder = "Library Files"
Folder Id = 2

The relative and absolute path should form a valid path to your file.

That does not help always but I found cases where I could fix my problem by adjusting the path entries.

Sometimes it helps to open your single project not using a workspace.
