Unable to write to Rave.ine

[Kevin Tye]

I've used earlier versions of Rave reports for quite a bit, but I'm
having a heck of a time getting Rave 7.5 BE installed and running in
Delphi 2007 for Win 32 Professional on a Windows Vista machine. Here's
what I've tried:

1.) I logged on as Admin
2.) Originally I tried installing from the Delphi 2007 CD and this did
not install the components into Delphi.
3.) I went to Component | Install packages and installed dclRave.bpl.
This seemed to install the components, but if I drop a TRvProject
component on form, set the ProjectFile property and attempt to open the
Rave Visual Designer I get an error: "Unable to write to Rave.ini"

4.) I downloaded the latest version 7.5.2 BE, uninstalled the earlier
version, and repeated the above steps. Same result.

5.) I've done several searches online to see if I could find a post
that would help me out.

Any suggestions?

Best Regards,

I've just encountered this same issue running RAD2007 under Vista (Ult.
32bit).
Changing folder permissions and file properties didn't allow the IDE to open
it. The only way I could get the report designer to open was to run Rave.exe
(with admin rights and folder privileges set) directly from "C:\Program
Files\CodeGear\....\RaveReports". As long as you have your project running
in the IDE then it should be able to find your dataviews.

William.
