Upload issues

#1

When uploading from a student profile (full access to install DIR at c:\mblocks2) i receive the following error,

C:\Program Files (x86)\mBlock\Arduino\arduino_debug.exe --upload --board arduino:avr:uno --port COM6 --verbose --preserve-temp-files C:\Users\student\AppData\Roaming\com.makeblock.Scratch3.4.11\Local Store\scratchTemp\project_Untitled2_1\project_Untitled2_1.ino

When running the application as administrator and using my domain admin credentials i get success,

Anybody had this issue? not sure if its a java issue or the software

Hi simonpilch,

Do you mean that you can only upload mBlock program with administrator right on the computer?
If yes, may I know which version mBlock and what is the operating system of your computer?

#3

Hi Thanks for the reply,

Yes that is correct, seems I cannot get an upload unless i have administrative rights running the software,

Windows 7 pro
mBlock 3.4.11

#4

Hi simon,

How about try install the mBlock software under the D disk instead of the C disk on the Computer?

#5

There isn’t a D drive on the machine

#6

Hi simon,

Do you mean the computer only has C disk?
If yes, you may try install the mBlock under the root directory of the C disk (like C:\mBlock) and see if it helps.

#7

Hi If you check my initial post i have stated it is installed under c:\mBlocks2,

#8

Hi simonpilch,

Sorry for that! In this case, I am afraid there is no other work around.
Currently,our engineers are developing the mBlock 5 which base on scratch3.0. The mBlock 5 doesn’t need administrator right to upload the program and will support all of the Makeblock robots gradually. You may use the mBlock 5 when it support the robot you use.

Hi simonpilch,

We have some progress on this problem, please try install the mBlock software under the Program data file in C disk (C:\ProgramData) have a try.
