Secondly, can you look in the fp.cfg file using notepad, and see if there is a -Opentiom option somewhere in it ? If so, remove it. This option is no longer supported. Thirdly, you might consider simply (re)moving the file. As far as I know (don't use the text mode IDE) the IDE will look for this file also in the current directory.

[fpc-pascal] 2.2.2 INSTALL PROBLEM
I JUST GOT 2.2.2 TO REPLACE MY 2.2.0 VERSION. When I compile a file that worked fine before it aborts immediately WITH A MESSAGE: UNABLE TO OPEN: C:\FPC\2.2.2\BIN\i86-WIN32\fp.cfg Yet this file exists in this directory. Whats wrong?

Re: [fpc-pascal] 2.2.2 INSTALL PROBLEM
Hi John! I saw someone else that posted a similar issue. Are you using Vista? If so, this might help: * **Right-click** (not the usual left-click) the FPC folder from My Computer and select Options from the drop-down list (bottom entry). * There are 4 tabs at the top of the new window, one of them says Security. Select that one and click the Edit... button (a window may pop up, asking for your permission to continue - Yes, continue...). * There's a list of groups/users and underneith that, a list of access rights. First make sure there's a group called Users in that first list (it should say something like Users (John-PC\Users)). If it isn't there, click the Add... button, in the next window click Object Types.. and select (checkmark) Users then hit OK on this and the previous window. * If Users is already in the list, highlight it and from the list below select the Full Control in the Allow column - it will automatically select Modify as well, but will leave Special Permissions unselected. That;s ok, so leave it as that and click the OK button. A window will show what it's doing - applying these new security settings to the FPC folder and all subfolders / files. Now remember that in doing so, any user (Standard OR Administrator) on your computer can add/edit/delete folders and files in your FPC folder. If that's too much of a security risk for you, either upgrade your own user account to have Administrator rights (Start - type User and select User Accounts from the program list - Select Change your account type) -OR- you can specifically select the FP.CFG file and apply these settings as outlined above to just that file instead of the whole FPC folder. Hope that did the trick for you, but use at your own risk ;-) -- Mike John Youngquist wrote: I JUST GOT 2.2.2 TO REPLACE MY 2.2.0 VERSION.

Re: [fpc-pascal] 2.2.2 INSTALL PROBLEM
Has anyone else ever seen this problem? Is this just a bug in 2.2.2 ? The file is clearly where it is supposed to be and accessible from other programs. Is this message erroneous or misleading?
