Security Exception Error

Bill Cunnien — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:48:23 GMT

I keep getting the following error message when I attempt to access the properties window within the Business Object Mapper. After clearing the error window, the BOM will not close. Can anyone suggest a method of attack on this problem?

Thanks!

Yep, sounds like visual studio isn't running as a true administrator. If you are running with user account control turned on, you will likely want to start VS by right clicking and selecting "Run As Administrator". The other option would be to work through the access issues by opening up the SF folder and registry permissions, but that will likely take some trial and error depending on where the access is getting blocked.

I typically turn UAC off on my Dev machines, but whether or not that is a good idea is a matter of opinion (loosing some security in the name of convenience.) With UAC on, even an administrator account isn't really an administrator, and can cause some security headaches here and there.

Right on. Normally, I do start VS in admin mode; however, I did not do that yesterday for some reason. I am good to go.

Thanks a ton, Charles!

I think this is what I was getting when I first started running SF on Windows 7. Try going to the BOM in the Microfour folder in Program Files and setting the properties to Run as Administrator. ( you might be ok just by making sure you run VS as administrator )
