I've upgraded from version 6 to 7 and am having issues with a custom configuration. I will like to keep the dataset on the C:\ as I had done prior to this upgrade.
I followed the instructions as per this article on Configuring the Datasets Root Folder Location and the section on Use datasets on C:\drive. Though after running the Structural Dataset Upgrade I received this error.
I can confirm from Configuration Explorer that the following are still in the default location on the C:\
_TF_WORKSPACEROOT
TF_DATASETS
TFDIR
Also as part of the custom configuration I have placed a copy of the worksets template BuildingTemplate_AU.cfg into the Organization directory on the Network and renamed to 01_DATASET.cfg. I have a feeling this is causing the problem but it was working in v6 but am not sure.
I have attached a bcf from Config Explorer of the configuration.

reinstall U6, you can't use U7
Which part of the post are you referring to?
U7 works running locally but not on the network. I would of thought Bentley would of tested this out thoroughly before rolling out the update.
we use the server to save the data (configuration directory) , U7 can not use the local dataset, so we can not use this update
something must be written to this config dir and this goes wrong, what else is missing to use the server is not clear, we dumped the update until this issue is solved.
Hi Rik,
See if this wiki helps:

HI Steve
I have already followed along to the wiki and the section Use datasets on C:\ drive:
It would be appreciated if someone could read the bcf file I attached or they could attach a bcf file of a working custom config with the dataset on the C:\ for users to compare.
On a side note do you know what is the future of Configuration Explorer? some of the functionality has been left out of CONNECT like the ability to compare to configurations (bcf's) Also the description for the variables hasn't been given, though I also have seen these have been neglected in OBD too.
Hi Simon,
I don't see a BCF file attached to your post. So, I've zipped one that I just created using the UK dataset for comparison purposes. OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition-Building_Examples-BuildingTemplate_UK.zip
Hi Steve
The BCF was attached to my original post but I will attach it again.
Thanks for the BCF, I will see if I can see where I'm going wrong
