Can't Write Configuration File - aptana

I have been unsuccessful in getting Aptana 3.0.8 to start. I keep getting the error
The configuration area at 'C:\Users\Devon\.eclipse\com.aptana.rcp.product_3.0.8.201201201658_68819209\configuration' is not writable. Please choose a writable location using the '-configuration' command line option.
I have used the -configuration command within the target area of my shortcut to point to two different locations at two different times.
First I made a folder in the root of my drive and made sure that it was writable, but still got the same error, except it would say that the folder I specified was not writable instead of listing the folder in the above error.
I also tried to point it to write to a mapped network drive via my server and it still gave me the same error.
I have read other posts on this site and none of the resolutions solved my issue. I also went into my local appdata folder and changed the path of the default workspace location within the config.ini folder and changed it to a directory that does not have spaces in its name in hopes that would resolve the issue.
I really needed to work on my business website and thus have installed Aptana 2 in the mean time because that seems to be working without any issues. However I would really like to be able to get Aptana 3 working.
I am running Windows 7 Pro x64
Thanks in advance for any help provided here

Iexpress.exe Unable to open report file even when ran as administrator

I'm creating a Iexpress package, and no matter what on the final step it pops up the message "Unable to open report file" and stops. I am searching Iexpress.exe and right clicking, then choosing "Run As Administrator" to start it. The problem persists.
I had this error running as my account (domain admin) not specifically telling it to run as administrator, removed spaces then re-ran working fine under Windows 10 1809 you shouldn't need to change to a different application to create .EXE files using IEXPRESS this is working fine under Window 10.
The way to fix this problem:
Go to the folder where your files you want to be in the package are
Go to the top bar (Where it says where you are on your drive), and type iexpress
Do the creation as normal, but the names you give the installer shouldn't have any spaces.
I did it this way without admin permissions.
I ended up moving on to Inno Setup Compiler. Turns out Iexpress isn't supported anymore. I recommend Inno to anyone making their own programs.
This happens when SourceFilesX or TargetName paths in the directive (i.e. the files you've added from the wizard) contain spaces. And while the issue with the TargetName can be fixed with adding double quotes the only workaround I've found about the source files is to put them in a folder path that not contains spaces.

set path in rstudio

Can anyone please guide me setting up the path in rstudio, why I cant change present working directory. what if I want to save a file on desktop and pull up the file in Rstudio.
Your help is appreciated.
thanks, sandy
Some of the most common reasons I have found where setting directory was a problem with the solution
Forgot the "" marks around the path example of correct setwd("Libraries/Documents")
Working in Windows and forgot to switch the back-slash to a forward slash, examples: WRONG-> "Libraries\Documents" RIGHT->"Libraries/Documents"
There path is on a shared system where they system denies that access (we have remote folders on servers at work that cannot be addressed this way)...IT security
The directory is not actually mapped as you stated, example possibly you do not need the Libraries part or you have to expressly include another level of folders above your current address
The directory has a different name, a capital letter, a space in it or something making addressing it on your system difficult
You are actually already in the wanted directory. as joel said, try getwd() to see where it says you are.
If none of this is your problem, post the error message and your system (linux, OS10.?, Windows 7 pro) and they setwd("path_to_stuff") you are using and we can try to get to the heart of the matter better.

"qtCored4.dll was not found" when running the application outside console.what could be wrong?

when running the application from inside the mingw console, it executes without any issue. But when I try to execute the same exe file in the debug folder of windows explorer, it says QtCored4.dll was not found. I even added the bin folder location to the environment variables, but then that produces another error saying : The procedure entry point _Z5qFreePv could not be located in the dynamic link lib... .So, can anyone give me a hint on how to solve this problem? Thanks.
As nax83 pointed out above, the problem was the path variable ambiguity due to multiple version of qt installed on my system. I removed all other qt-related values from my path variable and then explicitly specified all the paths to one single version. Recompiled and built the application, and there was my application, running without any jerks and problems.

Aptana won't start because workspace has change location

I'm on Mac OS X, and I just installed a secondary drive, onto which I placed my user's home directory.
Now, when I launch Aptana/Titanium Studio, it says that specified workspace cannot be created because directory is either invalid or read-only.
What I guess that it's looking after the old file path.
In what file can I change to the new workspace location?
Thanks!
Found a workaround.
I simply added a symbolic link into my users’ folder:
myusername -> /Volumes/Second/Home/
VoilĂ !
I had the same issue. I tried to change workspace to a read only location and then couldn't restart.
I searched the usual suspects for a pref file but can't find it. I suspect it's stored somewhere deep in the Eclipse framework files.
I solved it by executing
./AptanaStudio3 -data ~Home
from
~/Applications/Aptana Studio 3/AptanaStudio3.app/Contents/MacOS/
to reset Workspace to ~Home
Hope this helps a future seeker
Is Aptana/Titanium Studio closing after the workspace message or you can get to the preference menu? If so you can change the workspace location by going to
Aptana/Titanium Studio > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces
Then when you next start the application you will be asked for you workspace location and you can browse to the new location.
You should be able to change it using the config.ini file located at /Application/Titanium Studio/configuration/config.ini.
I have not had reason to do this for Titanium, but I have done in the past for Eclipse and as Titanium/Aptana are basically Eclipse spin offs this should work for them as well.
Just in case anyone faced the same problem and the answer didn't work. My problem was trivial. There was no free space on my HD! (only 2MB). If so, free some space and re-launch Aptana.
(I am wondering why the message was that vague. Why not to say "Free some space" and "free" me from wasting my time!)
I know this is old but I ended up here after copying my Aptana Studio 3 data to a new computer, and placing my Workspace in a different location, which gives the same error that the Workspace can't be opened.
If you installed into the default location (on Windows) and want to tell Aptana where you've moved your Workspace, the file where you can set the path is:
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Appcelerator\Aptana Studio\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs

Error 1324: Folder Path 'C:' contains invalid character Installaware 7.0 R2

I hate to ask the same question others have asked in Stackoverflow, but I still can't figure out why Installaware 7.0 R2 has this problem.
I need to build a installable CD for the previous version of my software. So, I am using what came with RAD Studio XE to do this. After creating a new Win32 setup for installation and customizing it, I built and test ran the project. In the middle of the installation, it raised an error, "Error Folder Path 'C:' contains an invalid character." So, I went back and created another win32 project and without doing any changes to anything I compiled, built and test ran the project. It worked without any error. After spending hours changing one thing at a time and testing it over and over again until I hit the error message again, I finally found the offending property in the Installaware. The error is raised thereafter once you change the Target folder textbox default value which is $PROGRAMFILE$\$TITLE$\ or Shortcut folder textbox default value which is $TITLE$. They only way to get passed this error is by not changing those default folder paths and allowing the user to change the folder path during installation.
It sort of annoying especially when you spend thousands of dollar purchasing these software from Embarcadero and Codegear. Is there a fix for this? Does anybody know?
These variables are resolved automatically to full folder paths. If you delete them or set an incorrect value, your package will not be able to resolve the installation path (hence the error). So the path edit controls should have valid default values.
If you don't want to allow the user to change your installation path, you can try deleting the dialog which offers this option. I'm not sure if that version of InstallAware supports it though.
If you don't like InstallAware, there are some good free or commercial alternatives which may help you.
