If VA Won't Compile Your Project

There are a few things that could prevent VA from successfully compiling your project. If your project
won't compile, check the following:
1. Do you have "Power User" (or "Administrator") access rights on the PC running VA?
Because the VA compiler writes to common areas of the registry, the User that is logged in on the
PC cannot belong to the Restricted User group. Their User Account profile must be set to either
"Power User" (or "Administrator").
To see what your access rights are on your PC, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > User
Accounts to open the User Accounts dialog.
In the Users tab, look for your User Name, and see which Group you are assigned to. If you see
"Restricted User", then you'll have to contact your network administrator and have them change this
setting.
2. Are there any apostrophes in either the Project Name, or in the file path of the directory that the
project is compiled into?
Apostrophes anywhere in the file path for the project will prevent VA from compiling successfully.
For example, a Project named "Joe's VA Projects" will be problematic. Remove the apostrophe and
re-save the project.
Likewise, an Output Folder (as specified in the Generate and Transfer System Files dialog) named
"Joe's VA Projects" will also prevent a successful compile. Again, remove the apostrophe from the
directory name and recompile.
