[News.eclipse.foundation] Re: Running Eclipse 3.0.1 under Windows XP

["Zheng Can" <iamzc@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi François

In fact, Eclipse wants to write some logs to installation path, such as
"c:\eclipse".
But driver c is read-only for non-root users under Windows XP.
The writing operation was denied by system.

You can try these solutions:
1. Move c:\eclipse to another driver, e.g. d:\eclipse.
2. Modify the security options of c:\eclipse; enable non-root users's
writing operations.
    Modify the security options of c:\eclipse\configuration is also ok.

Good luck :)
