This error message appears when the Advantys Configuration Software is opened.

the workspace is using.

To verify the pathname for the database folder:

• Click on Start\Run
• Type in 'regedt32' and hit the ENTER key to bring up the Registry Editor.
• Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.
• Double click on the Registry key named Schneider Electric.
• Double click on the Registry key named Advantys\Settings.
• Double click on the Registry key named Settings.
• Locate the key data in the right window pane and compare it against the actual folder pathname. (i.e., The key

data is C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\Advantys\Data for a default installation)

If the string value is different from the actual pathname:

• Double click on the DATA string value to open the String Editor window
• Change the string to the correct pathname.
• Click on the OK button to apply the changes and close the String Editor window.
• Close the Registry Editor .
