[great-users] Error with running GREngine on Windows Vista

[Anantha Narayanan]

I believe the temp directory is %GREAT_PATH%/tmp. 
You may try moving GReAT outside the program files directory.

Subject: [great-users] Error with running GREngine on Windows Vista


Hi Folks,

I am trying to run the GREngine on Windows Vista and facing some
problems. In shorr, execution of mpc.exe is failing.  I have attached a
screenshot of the error in the command window available at:

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~kitty/GReAT-GREngine.jpg

Windows Vista treats %ProgramFiles% as a system directory and doesn't
allow writing to directories underneath %ProgramFiles% by non-system
processes. Since the GREngine chooses %ProgramFiles%\ISIS\GReAT\tmp as
the temporary directory to create the intermediate files necessary
during the running of GREngine, it fails.  Is there anyway to change the
directory that GREngine uses for the temporary files?  I would prefer to
use %TEMP% or %TMP% for the temporary files.  Please note that I am able
to use/work with all of the rest of the GReAT toolchain without any
problems on Vista.

If you feel that the problem is elsewhere,  please let me know.  Any
help in resolving this problem is much appreciated.

-kitty.
