Web AppBuilder v2 Installation Error

[JillianStanford]

Hi,

I've downloaded and extracted the latest version of WAB but when I run startup.bat I get the following error:

fs.js:653

  return binding.mkdir(pathModule._makeLong(path),

                 ^

Error: EPERM, operation not permitted 'C:\Program Files\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\server\logs'

    at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:653:18)

    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Program Files\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\server\server.js:73:6)

    at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)

    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)

    at startup (node.js:119:16)

    at node.js:906:3

Press any key to continue . . .

I thought maybe it was a permissions problem so I ran startup.bat as an administrator and now I simply get the error:

"server" directory does not exist

Press any key to continue . . .

The server directory definitely exists. It contains 17 files and 3 directories. I've deleted everything and downloaded a fresh copy but still get the same error. Node.js is installed from a previous version of WAB.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Jill

Jill,

  Have you tried to unzip WAB to the c: root instead of C:\Program Files?

[JillianStanford]

You are right on, Robert. This worked.

Strange that I have installed v2 on other workstations in C:\Program Files without problems.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it!

I have the extracted WAB in C:\WebappBuilderForArcGIS and when executing startup.bat, I still get the following error:

"server" directory does not exist

I had a similar issue that seems to be sorted by extracting the file to the C:\ , as suggested above.
