Error writing file problem

You can fix the Error writing to file error message simply by running the installation process as an administrator. To do that, right-click the setup file and choose Run as administrator from the menu. This isn't a permanent solution, but it should allow you to install the desired application without any errors.

I've been having this problem as well. Maybe this was solved in later versions, but in SS2, I've encountered the same problem and it causes Power InRoads to crash on closing...

No, not working...

But I figured out something.
When I delete up to around 200 COGO points and then save it is ok, but in case when I need to delete around 400 points problem appear.

I tried at colleagues computer, with his files and it is same situation...

Hrvoje, try this:
Set the UAC (User Account Control) in the system settings (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts) to never notify. Then make sure that the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\PowerRailTrack V8i\PowerRailTrack\InRoadsGroup\data\metric\ is not write protected. Log out and log in again. Start PRT

Actions that didn't helped:
- using another m_structures.dat file although I didn't used it at all
- copying/creating new alignment or even completely different alignment
- evan gave geometry file to a colleague who uses same PRT version (08.11.07.536) and don't even work on his computer but works with his other geometry files...

I just don't get it...

Hi Hrvoje,

yes I save it - no problem...

If you can, send me screeshot from your File > Project Default ....

next: try use another m_structures.dat - may be original file is damaged.

...or: try to create new ALG file and copy alignent from original ALG file - may be there is something in the file....

But did you managed to save it?

I checked all of this... I don't have any path defined for drainage structures and I am an administrator. I tried all solutions you suggested and didn't worked.
As I already wrote, if I make any other change in this geometry file I can save it without any problem. Problem begins when I want to save .alg after deleting COGO points. That is what is strange in this situation...

Robert thank you for replying...

Hi Hrvoje,
I deleted COGO point form ALG with no problem.

Try to check setting : File > Project Default -> Drainage Structures (*.dat). Is there any info in field ?

My comment:
If you are not administrator, you do not have acces to file m_structures.dat - as is message in PDF. Try to repeat operation with administrator right attached to your Windows account.
...or:
Try to clear field "File > Project Default -> Drainage Structures (*.dat)" and repeat...
...or:
copy file "m_structures.dat" from \Program Files (x86)\Benley\PowerRailTrack V8i 08.xx.xx.xxx\PowerRailtrack\.... location to another location, where you have full Read/Write access, change setting pointed to new location of file in "Drainage Structures (*.dat)" field and repeat.
