Unfortunately I cannot know the details as I was an intermediary with another colleague... But your conjectures seem quite possible!

sorry for not replying sooner on this. My guess is that either TRNSYS was installed in the .\Program Files\ directory (it should not be) or else your Windows user account or the SYSTEM Windows user account did not have full read/write access in the folder in which TRNSYS is installed. If you have any details about what your IT department did to fix the problem and would not mind posting them here, I am sure that other users would benefit!

If this happens to you contact your IT support team
