Startup error on first run as non-administrator

[Jochem van Dieten]

I installed CFBuilder Beta 3 on a Windows XP SP3 machine in the standalone configuration from the Administrator account. At the end of the installation I choose not to start CFBuilder, but instead started it manually from my own user account (Power User group) on the system. The startup consistently gave an error. Removed CFBuilder, installed it again, same problem.

Then I used the "runas" command to start CFBuilder as Administrator. CFBuilder started up correctly. Closed it, started CFBuilder from my own account. This time no error, but instead I was prompted to select a different workspace since the workspace was in use. After selecting a different workspace everything is fine now.

Logfile from a startup error attached.

Hi Jochem,

When you started CFB did the error come up as a pop-up message? If yes, what was the error message?

From the logs this doesn't really seem to be an issue because CFB was not started with 'Run as Administrator' option.

We will have a detailed look into the logs and get back.

Thanks!

It said something like "The bundle could not be resolved." and pointed

to the log file.

I agree, usually when you have insufficient permissions you get a some

io.SecurityException in the log, but this one is a bit weird.

I don't think that all that many CF developers log in with a

non-administrator account, so this may be a code path that gets

exercised less frequently. I'll see if it is reproducible when I do a

few more uninstall / install cycles this weekend.

Thanks Jochem.

We will try the same at our end.

It is a permissions issue that is fixable by assigning additional

permissions to the user. For now I have upgraded the Power Users group

to Change permissions.

Before:

C:\Program Files\Adobe>cacls "Adobe ColdFusion Builder"

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder BUILTIN\Users:R

BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(special access:)

GENERIC_READ

GENERIC_EXECUTE

BUILTIN\Power Users:C

BUILTIN\Power Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)C

BUILTIN\Administrators:F

BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

PRLT-J002\Administrator:F

CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

After:

C:\Program Files\Adobe>cacls "Adobe ColdFusion Builder"

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder BUILTIN\Users:R

BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(special access:)

GENERIC_READ

GENERIC_EXECUTE

BUILTIN\Power Users:C

BUILTIN\Power Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(special access:)

DELETE

READ_CONTROL

SYNCHRONIZE

GENERIC_READ

GENERIC_WRITE

GENERIC_EXECUTE

FILE_GENERIC_READ

FILE_GENERIC_WRITE

FILE_GENERIC_EXECUTE

FILE_READ_DATA

FILE_WRITE_DATA

FILE_APPEND_DATA

FILE_READ_EA

FILE_WRITE_EA

FILE_EXECUTE

FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES

FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES

BUILTIN\Administrators:F

BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

PRLT-J002\Administrator:F

CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

With this change CFBuilder starts correctly.
