Error when trying to start tomcat server
I have successfully installed an RTC trial version but get the following error when starting up the server.
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I went to an extend of using administrators credentials to logon but still got the same error.
Any advice?

One answer
I can only think of you install on windows (which one?) and picked Program files.
After startup Tomcat/RTC uncompresses files and creates folders. If it does not have the permission you get issues. This is critical with the virtualized folders in windows.
I avoid to install into Program Files. If you did you can uninstall (sorry) and install fresh but use a folder that does not belong to the virtualized folders Windows uses. E.g. use C:\IBM\3.0.1\JazzTeamServer
Otherwise I think you have to run a shell and make sure you ran as admin (windows), then CD to the install dir and run the server.startup.bat from the commandline with admin permissions.
