What does "init rewrite locked" mean?

[ahonoe]

Built a new computer around Windows 7 Pro 64 and now I can't edit (make any changes at all - not even move modules around) any of my patches in any of the recent RCs. I constantly get this "init rewrite locked" message in the console. I can't even quit HH (I need to shut it down from Task Manager). Everything seems fine on my other computers (W8.1 and W7 Pro 64).

Help!

You can also check where you have install Usine, for example try an external disk or a second partition, avoid your C: partition or the desktop

Thanks for your replies. I am running hh as an administrator and from the same volume and folder (precisely) as on 3 other computers which don't have this problem. This is something I've never seen before. Perhaps Olivier can shed some light on this warning message.

I've asked Olivier precisely and he point on this C; and system partition.
Have you try to move the folder to help the diagnostic?

Thanks Nay. Unfortunately I have only one hard drive on my computer. Would you like me to move it to another folder on the same drive? Maybe I can find a USB key to run it from for troubleshooting. The current folder is in c:UserssleporesterdownloadsDropboxhh_beta in case that helps. The problem occurs regardless of whether Dropbox is running, or not.

ok,
can you try to move the folder out of the dropbox, for example in the download folder ?
you can also try a fresh unzip version ( don't import your settings first) in this same download folder to check if you have the same issue

I'll give it a try in a few minutes and let you know what happens.

That looks like an Apache message... Are you running an Apache server?

[sephult]

should just try creating a C:HH folder and placing your patches in this at the moment.
Then you can verify if it's a permission problem with Windows 7.

Ok. Looks like moving the app folder out of the DB folder did the trick.I can now edit patches and exit hh. Reverting to 71b seems to have resolved the other weirdnesses in my patches.

What stumps me is why hh is working fine from the same DB folder on my other 3 systems. I checked permission on the folder and I have full permissions and I am also the owner. I have had file contention issues of workspaces and patches stored in DB, but never an issue with hh.

Thanks for everyone's input. Long live the community!
