Environment:
PME installation/upgrade
Local Microsoft SQL Server instance used by PME
Cause:
The Windows account running the installer does not have sufficient NTFS permissions on the PME installation path, preventing SQL Server from creating database files (e.g., ION_Data.MDF), which leads to the “Access is denied (error 5)” failure.
Resolution:
Grant NTFS permissions
- Navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\Power Monitoring Expert - Right‑click → Properties → Security.
- Select the installer account (or Administrators) → Edit → check Allow: Full control → OK.
4. Close the installer and run the installer again as a reconfigure.
Recommendation:
If you are using an older version of PME, consider upgrading to the latest version for improved protocol support and security. For assistance with integration or upgrades, contact Schneider Electric Technical Support at: pmo.support@se.com
