RouteRiter Installation

I have just installed RouteRiter 7.6 on my new Windows 11 computer.
I have a problem with making ace files.

The error message is:
An error Permission denied occurred in subroutine "MakeACEFile" please advise.
Support with details of operation being processed.

AceIt.exe and TGATool2A.exe are in the same folder as Route_Riter.exe

There is a shortcut to AceIt on the desktop, and I can run the program from this. Unfortunately this has a serious problem. The ace file it creates is not from the bmp file I select! Not good when a factory sign is covered in a stone wall texture.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Garry,
Have you set the .exe files for AceIt, TGATool2A and Route_Riter to be all set to "Run this program as an administrator" (from their respective Properties screen)?  This creates a permanent setting in the Registry which is not the same as right-clicking the .exe file and selecting "Run as administrator" which is only a one-time change.

Also, none of the programs should be in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) or any of the other Windows-created folders on Drive C:

I can't help with the wrong .bmp file selection, but there must be a very simple explanation because computers, even those using Windows 11, will only process data they are presented with  

Caveat : I do not run Windows 11 but as far as I know, it operates very similarly to Windows 10.

Thanks for the reply Ged.
I have Route Riter installed on my E drive, so this should be ok. I have just checked my old windows 10 computer and everything is set up the same on both, including the version of java and its location.
I have changed the Properties/Compatibility to Run as Administrator for AceIt RR and TGA with partial success.

RR still throws up the error, but AceIt has converted my .bmp to a .ace file which shows up fine in TSRE.

I have no problem now. I will use AceIt to convert my graphics and ignore RR for this.

Thanks

Hi Garry,
Make sure that the Route_Riter folder contains two empty folders named TempFiles and TempFiles2.
This is necessary because, as installed, R_R 'looks' for those folders in one of Windows's 'private' folders on drive C: which are protected in Win 10 and, I suspect, Win 11.

I appreciate that you may have already created those folders but it's all I can come up with at the moment

Hi Ged
Thanks for the reply.
Yes my RR folder does have both Temp and Temp2 folders.

My other thought is Java? My installation is C:ProgramFiles(x86)/Java/jre1.8.0_181
I have copied the classes folder as instructed, but it does say to install java in c:\program files\Java\jre7
Could this be a problem?

If you are happy with the java I will continue using AceIt to make my texture files

Hi Garry,
Java should be OK. The only differences I have are in the version and location of Java - Program Files/java/jre1.8.0_361 because I am using the 64bit version. Program Files (x86) is for the 32bit version.
The actual path to Java should be set within Windows and if R_R doesn't tell you it can't find Java, then it's OK.

Cheers,
