Error writing to file new.ppj

[Luke77]

I am getting this error message when trying to create a new project.

Error writing to file 'new.ppj'

I added all the set statements in povars32.bat to environmental variables.

Thanks.

Which Windows version are you running on?

What is the full path to the project file you like to create?

[Luke77]

XP Pro Sp3

C:\Program Files\PellesC\Bin\new

[Stefan Pendl]

It is not recommended to place your projects into a sub-folder of the bin folder or any other sub-folder of the Pelles C installation folder.

It is best to place them into a sub-folder of the "My Documents" folder.

Pelles is what is choosing to put a new project in a directory below Bin.

How can I change that?

Hi Luke77,

don't click so fast, first take a look ;-)

You can change it yourself, and you've done it already:

If you say "new project", look carefully at the bottom
of the dialog. There you can choose a directory. That's it!

This is the new base project directory, until you change it another time.
