Hello Everyone,

I moved from a Win 7 PC to a Win 10 PC and did a fresh install of VRS and the writer plugin. The writer plugin will not start and is giving me the following error:

[2016-06-01 18:08:23.724 UTC] [t1] Database writer plugin caught exception on starting session: System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException: unable to open database file

SQLite is saying that it can't open your BaseStation.sqb for writing. When you moved the installation did you copy across your BaseStation.sqb from the old machine? Have you configured the correct path and filename for your BaseStation.sqb in VRS? Does the user that's running VRS have the correct permissions to read and write the file? Has the file been flagged as read-only?

The user didn't have permission on the directory in which the database file was in. All set. Thanks again!
