If you don't have the 'write permissions' set to this folder, CE cannot be installed. Thus, check r/w.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Let me know if this helps.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Matt</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:40:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-cityengine-questions/invalid-configuration-location/m-p/517079#M7015 MatthiasBuehler1 2013-03-26T15:40:25Z
