Workspace Creation

Post by 58snow »

Creating a workspace in any folder besides the root installation, if this happens, an error reading that the .zpi information file cannot be opened. It is attempting to read from the location of the Zeus executable instead of the workspace folder created.

This definitely should be possible so I am not sure why this is not working for you :?
if this happens, an error reading that the .zpi information file cannot be opened.

As you point out correctly it looks like a zpi file is missing or is incorrectly located.

The Zeus workspace consists of a workspace (zwi) file and inside that file there are relative links to the project (zpi) files.

One way to try an understand what has gone wrong is to just open the zwi file see what zpi links it contains. These files are just plain xml text files.

Can you give the steps you used to create the workspace :?:

This definitely should be possible.

For example these steps create a Testing workspace in the D:\Temp folder:

1. Workspace, New menu

2. In the Workspace New dialog enter in these details:

Code: Select all

Workspace Name: Testing
Workspace Directory: D:\Temp
Folders: Header Files;Resource Files;Source Files;
That will create a workspace contain one project contain the folders specified.
