Thread: Run-time error '76'

Run-time error '76'

From

Date:
Hello,

I've just recently installed pgAdmin.

Now, after trying to change the location of the log files, I'm getting an
error message "Run-time error '76' Path not found" on startup (just after
the splash screen) and then pgAdmin dies.

I suppose that either I mistyped the path I wanted or pgAdmin cannot or
does not create any directories in the path.

Unfortunately I'm not sure what path I typed in.  I've tried
creating a few directories that I might have typed but no luck.

I've tried to uninstall and reinstall pgAdmin but the error continues. I
even tried an earlier version (1_1_66 and 1_1_34).

Is there some file (config maybe) somewhere that gets created but not
uninstalled or some registry setting that does not get reset?

Any suggestions as to how can I fix this problem?

TIA,

Hi Herb,

Using regedit, try deleting the registry key (after making appropriate backups of course :-)):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgAdmin II\Log file

Regards, Dave.

Actually I don't know how to backup the registry (i'm not a windows guy)
but I figured "how dangerous can that be?" :-|

AW, got the error (path) fixed and moved on to the original problem that
caused me to want the logs in a more convient place.  That problem being
"attribute 'datlastsysoid' not found" which is of course mentioned in the
troubleshooting guide.

Thanks again,

Herb...
