Cannot create file C:\...\settings.ini because it is in use...
Hello,
Very often, when I open, activate a profile or make any change in the application, I get the message below.
Cannot create file C:\Program Files (x86)\NetSetman\settings.ini. the file is used by another process.
My configuration:
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits SP1
- 6 GB of RAM
Thank you in advance for any help.
Saladin.

Re: Cannot create file C:\...\settings.ini because it is in use...
I've seen this problem in some cases already. Mostly the problem was that the ini file was accessed by a anti-virus-scanner (AVG) at the same time when NetSetMan tried to access it. Since the file is accessed quite often there might be an interference from time to time.
I've done some research for how to solve this problem for all users. I'll try to approach this problem for the next version.
Until then you might want to try to exclude the file settings.ini (or the whole NetSetMan folder) from your anti-virus software, so that it doesn't access the file anymore. Please tell me if this helps.

Good evening,
Thank you for your quick answer.
I will add NetSetman to trusted applications.
I forgot to add my antivirus in the configuration description: it is Kaspersky 6.0.4.1425.
Let me know if you have any update this issue.
Thank you again.
Saladin.

I've included some optimizations concerning this issue. They'll be available in the next release 3.5.0 - Let me know if you then still encounter that problem.

Hello,
I have another problem but I think it is better to open a new topic: "NetSetMan freezes very often"
Do you want me to do it or wait for the new release?

Yes, each problem should be posted in a seperate topic. If you're not in a hurry, then please wait for the new version to be released. If you then encounter some problems, create a new topic and describe the problem as detailed as possible. Don't miss to add screenshots.
