Worldwind won't run properly under restricted user

06-18-2007, 09:55 PM

Hi-

I'm running WW 1.4 and get constant errors because I'm running the program in a restricted user environment.

Please write your code so that it stores its caches and other temp files in the proper locations, c:\documents and settings\username or perhaps c:\windows\temp

It's very difficult to use any of these Google Earth related products because it appears that every developer assumes that they're going to be run at at least Power User level, which in an academic environment is not the case

Um, you can change where cache is stored, and you do NOT want individual cache locations. Unless you are going to configure it to only keep 100mb like GE.

Alt-Q and change the cache settings I beleive.

Also.. do NOT use the terms "Google Earth related" when referring to World Wind.. we hate being down graded to that level

I run under a restricted user account at work and by changing where the cache is going and where the program is installed I'm able to run just fine. The xml files that are downloaded from the NASA servers at app startup like global clouds, boundaries, and such need to go into a directory you have write permissions. You can get it to work though.
