PLEASE VERIFY YOUR FILES OR REINSTALL.I have tried browsing to my Flight Sim Plan files folder and have that shared and its still not working. Can anyone please helpEDIT.........Ok I have it sorted now..thanksThanksDrayton

Hi Drayton, Not to be too hard on you , but how about instead of saying EDIT: ok i have sorted it now... To here is how i sorted it, hope it helps anyone with the same issues..Guess what ? I have the same issues :(merry xmas..James

Hi James,I do apologise..What I have now done is to share all the following folders starting with the root of the FS PC C drive followed by the Documents & Settings folder, then the UsernameApplication Data folders also. I initially only shared the Application Data folder and that didnt work.It now works a treat. I hope this helpsCheersDrayton

I'm getting the same error message under win2k, not using WideFS though.I installed ASv6 as root (administrator sorry) but whenever i use my normal user I get that error message...what is the "Application Data" folder? Couldn't find anything.:( *** EDIT ***Ok, I figured it out.In the ASV6.ini file I had to change this line:PersonalAppDataFolder = C:Documents and SettingsadministratorDati applicazionito:PersonalAppDataFolder = C:Documents and SettingsleoDati applicazioniWorking fine now! ;)

Hi,I also have the error and the above solution does not work for me.ASv6 is installed on my laptop and FS9 on the FS-computer.ASv6 is able to find the FS2004 folder which is shared and mapped as a network drive (Z:FS2004)Then I am being prompted for the personal application data folder. Now what is mentioned here as I have two ? I have a directory on the FS computer inC:documents and settingsFritsApplication DataMicrosoftFS9.Furthermore I have a directory which houses all my flightplans and stuff which is on the FS computer in:D:My DocumentsFSI tried sharing C: (root), the Application Data directory and also the FS directory on D:. Whichever combination I try, I always get the initialisation error.Any suggestions ?Frits

Solved it !I actually mapped the Application Directory as a drive and also ensured both Read and Write permissions were enabled.Frits
