  4. Verify that the
    AppPath
     key is there and that the path in the Data column is correct.
    The correct path is listed in the
    csitools.txt
     file in the X:\WinCSI\Tools (where
    X
     represents the network drive where DT FileCabinet is installed).
    If the key is there but the path is incorrect, double-click the AppPath file and update the path in the
    Value data
     field.
    If the key or the folders are missing, create them as follows.
    1. Right-click the

      Installation
       key and choose
      New > String Value

      AppPath

    4. Double-click the new AppPath key and in the
      Value Data
       field, enter the correct path (from the
      csitools.txt
       file).
User Account Control (UAC) settings
As defined by Microsoft, User Account Control is a feature in Windows that informs you when a program makes a change that requires administrator-level permissions.

       - Click the Windows
      Start
       icon and choose
      Control Panel
      .
    • Windows 8
       - Right-click the Windows
      Start
       icon and choose on
      Search
      . Enter
      Control Panel
       in the search field.
    • Windows 10
       - Enter
      Control Panel
       in the search field in the toolbar.
  2. Select
    User Accounts
    .
  3. Select the
    Change User Account Control Settings
     link.
  4. Move the slider to
    Never notify
    , and then click OK.
  5. Restart the computer.
note
Your firm's network or security policy may not allow you to disable User Account Control. We recommend installing all DT Professional Suite applications using the
Run as administrator
 option. If UAC is enabled and you encounter any issues while installing or using any DT Professional Suite application, you may need to disable UAC as a troubleshooting step. For further assistance, consult your qualified IT professional.
