WUFI 2D: Could not find database

[roberto]

Hi!

I just installed WUFI2D-3 but got the above error message when starting WUFI 2D. Have you any idea what went wrong?

BTW, the "Install_WUFI-DB.exe" was executed normally during the istallation.

Do you use Windows 7?
Did you run the installation with administrative privileges?

Do you have read/write privileges (for current user) in directories "IBP-Software/Database" (MSAccess wants to create a *.ldb file) "IBP-Software/Tools" (for update of wufigraph.xml)

You also should give read/write privilegs to the whole folder IBP-Software/Wufi2D-3

Thank you for your quick reply, Christian! Unfortunately I have still the problem.

I am using Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3. And I have administrator rights to the computer.
In C:\Program Files\IBP-Software\Tools I cannot find any *.ldb -files.
I also have WUFI 5.1 Pro in C:\Program Files\IBP-Software. It works well.

same problem here with WUFI 2D 3.3 on Windows XP /on MAC/Parallels Desktop

user = admin
I do not know how to eventually set privileges

no .ldb file

Hi xavdeq,

you could try to add following section to the file

%AppData%\\WUFI2D-3.3.ini (type %AppData% as "location" in WindowsExplorer)

[Climate]
Database=c:\Program Files\IBP-Software\Database\IBP_24.mdb

Thank you very much, this worked.

(remember that you assumed I use an English version of WinDOS)
