FactoryTalk Private Directory error

In FactoryTalk View Studio - View Machine Edition, I get "Failed to open the FactoryTalk Private Directory" error when opening a project. I can open other projects without a problem.

I've looked and found some suggestions, but none have resolved the problem. I ran the ResDir script, the Directory Configuration program from Rockwell, rebooted, re-installed View Studio, but still not opening.

Another suggestion I found is to delete the files in C:\ProgramData\Rockwell\RNAClient, RNAServer, but I can't because it says the file is open but it is not.

Any suggestions?

Ok, got it working. A number of suggestions I had found say to delete the Private Directory, but don't say where it is. Well, this is where it is:
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\ME\HMI Projects\<name of project>\PrivateDirectory

Deleted that directory and project opens ok.
Yahoo.

FTView private directory fault

You can leave the directory and just toss the two files inside that directory if you wish. Either works.

This just happened to me today on a project I had worked on quite a bit. Factory Talk View studio had locked up on me and I had to force it closed. When I tried to reopen the application I got the private directory fault.

Thanks for sharing the solution. Worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot man , literally saved me today.

Thanks MartyMaucher for the info!
I helped me today.

I agree - deleting the PrivateDirectory folder was a quick fix, Thanks!

The bugs in Rockwell garbage just keep getting worse and worse. What complete **** for software. Most of the development time is spent just trying to navigate this kind of buggy trash....
