ISE write permissions?

9.1 SP3 on XP.

I can open my project from the "File" dialog, but if I try double-clicking the ISE file I get:

"The project ... you are attempting to open does not have write permissions and therefore cannot be opened in Project Navigator.

This could have occured if the project was attempted to be opened in an earlier version of ISE software.

In order to open the project, you must either change the permissions of the project file or make a writable copy of the project file."

Unfortunately the eroor message doesn't tell me how to do either of these things, and I can't find anything on this in the help.

Pete,

I can double click on my .ise file and can launch the GUI. A couple of things that you may want to check out. Look at the properties of the .ise file and verify that Read-only is not selected. Also verify that the file type associated with the .ise file is Xilinx ISE Project. Let me know how it goes.

I checked that. Assuming you're talking about the Windows properties, that was OK.

It may be that ProjNav still has a problem with long paths or spaces in directory names. I moved the folder from the desktop, and it seems OK now.

Thanks

Pete,

I think that you hit the solution right on with the .ise file being on the desktop. The last think I want to do is open up a can of worms regarding spaces in a path, but it apparently still has some issue from this posting. As a rule of thumb, ensure that the directory structure does not contain spaces or use underscores as whitespace. Glad to hear that it is resolved.
