All,
This is driving me nuts. I installed WMQ v7.5 on Windows 7 under Administrator account by accident, so I uninstalled it then log into the a user account an install WMQ v7.5
Note: I put the user account in the mqm group.
Now when I start MQ Explorer under the the user account I get the following error:
| Quote: |
| java.lang.IllegalStateException: The platform metadata area could not be written: C:\Users\Administrator\IBM\WebSphereMQ\workspace-Installation1\.metadata. By default the platform writes its content |
I have done:
| Code: |
strmqcfg -c
strmqcfg -i
strmqcfg -c -i |
But I still get the error. What can I do?
Regards,

Add the user to the local administrator group of the box?
Best bet is to review the installation of the MQExplorer. First launch of WMQE seems to lock something where the workspace is connecting to... and it appears you launched it the first time at an elevated prompt?
You could alternatively change the permissions to the workspace (as indicated above) to be read write for everybody...
Have fun

I've seen this same error before, and this is what I ended up doing.
I don't claim it's the right choice. |

Hi,
I spent many, many hours beating my head against the wall and force MQ Explorer to wrote write/access the Administrator's directory. So I gave up and manually edited the following file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere MQ\MQExplorer\eclipse\configuration\config.ini".
I changed:
| Code: |
| osgi.instance.area=@user.home/IBM/WebSphereMQ/workspace-Installation1 |
to:
| Code: |
| osgi.instance.area=C:/Users/Tyler/IBM/WebSphereMQ/workspace-Installation1 |
And now MQ Explorer works just fine. Some where some place, MQ Explorer has hard wired "@user.home" to be "C:/Users/Administrator". I can't find it but I really don't care at this point, it is for Tyler's laptop (my son), so that he can do his MQTT Programming session at the MQ Technical Conference.
