Error installing BOLTSFC

Post by td5656 »

I get the following error when trying to install BOLTSC.

OSError: [WinError 1314] A required privilege is not held by the client: 'C:\\Users\\timd\\AppData\\Roaming\\FreeCAD\\\\Mod\\BOLTSFC\\start_bolts.FCMacro' -> 'C:/Users/timd/AppData/Roaming/FreeCAD/Macro\\start_bolts.FCMac

How do I resolve this?

It's trying to create a symbolic link on Windows, which most user accounts don't have permissions for. I'm only guessing at your version info, but I fixed that bug a couple of weeks ago, so if you're using a Weekly you may just need to update.

Thanks for the replies.
I'll try again.
Sorry but I'm new to FreeCad, been using it a couple of days.
I'm using version .19, not sure if that matters here.
Working with a Windows 10 computer with full admin permissionns.

You should start using the FreeCAD v0.20 development build that updates weekly. Lots of issues (that unfortunately don't get ported back in to v0.19 due to 3rd party dependency or lack of volunteers) have been fixed.
You can download it from https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bund ... kly-builds
