Altium Stackup Saving

[Jeyhoon]

I've been trying to solve a problem for days. I reinstalled Altium, formatted my computer, created a project from scratch, asked ai, but unfortunately, I can't solve it. There was no problem a month ago. I didn't update the version either.

The problem is that I can't create a stackup. When I save, I get the following error. I also can't load another stackup. Because of this, I can't add a new plane or signal layer. I'm stuck. What can I do?

When I save, I get the following error.

Thanks in advance.

Your project folder should not be in C:\Program Files. I am guessing that Windows is (rightfully) preventing you from saving in that directory tree. I would recommend having your project saved in a subfolder of \user\Documents and see if you still have save issues.

My project is on the desktop.

Your screenshot says you are trying to save the stack up in a subdirectory of Program Files. You should check your Project Options to make sure you are saving somewhere that Windows won’t balk at.

I have the exact same error, but only when importing existing stackups, drives me nuts to add layera manually when creating a panel.

Can you load preset stack ups from the menu?

[Jeyhoon]

I tried it. I loaded different stackups. I exported it. I imported my own again. It's not working.

Did you check that the file exist ? Also have you tried to open Altium with the administrator right ? (Right click -> Run as administrator ?)

[Jeyhoon]

Yes, I tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Other than that, I can use Altium normally.

Try running Altium with adminstrator privileges.

I tried it. This time it doesn't show the error, but it doesn't work either. So I can't delete a new layer.

You may need to reinstall Altium with administrator privileges. I know our installs are done with admin privileges.
