.metadata is read only

[Anonymous]

Hi friends,
I have worked on TDI5.0 previously.
But now I have installed TDI6.1,but when I click on the .exe file I receive an error as : /workspace/.metadata is read only.
I have also removed th e read only checkbox from the workspace folder and tried to run it,still same issue.
Could you please check and let us know.

Ok.To resolve the issue I had to give myself full control of the work space folder.
It worked then.But I wonder why do I need to do such changes.

Hi,
Did you install Talend product on system disk?

Yes I did,but I did it on a virtual machine.

Hi,
This issue is probably caused by authorization. Have you already been given the right ("Write") to the system disk? What's the OS you are using?
Best regards

In my case I switched the workspace on the first prompt that talend (7.1) shows.

But then to avoid the .metadata is read only error I found the next solution.

Go to the Manage connections and change the workspace to the one that you chose in the first

step, then click ok and start a new project.

It will work because talend 7.1 only can manage

connection. ( In the enterprise version you can create various connections with multiple workspaces).

Make sure to put the same workspace in both first and last step, so it will work fine
