Administrator needed to RUN Repetier?

Vertex 3D Printer Vertex - Printer software (repetier, slicer, ...)

After installing Repetier as Administrator to get proper CuraEngine G-Code, I am finding that running Repetier under the user account once again results in a blocked print waiting for the non-existent bed to heat. I had to RUN as Administrator to avoid this. Does this mean that everyone who prints has to use the Admin password each time? (I’m using Windows 7).

I’m running Linux and there it isn’t necessary…

In repetier, look in Config/preferences/basic settings. The Workdirectory defaults to "C:\Users[i]Adminname[/i]\AppData\Local\RepetierVertex. If you’re using a user account, the directory might be different with default values.

Thanks, Raby
That will solve it.

Well, that DID NOT work. The Repetier work directory is as you suggest a user local directory and the Velleman configs can be copied there, but as soon as Repetier is told to slice a model file, cura.ini is overwritten with the wrong settings. Even after changing the work directory to another one, same thing happens. The working directory must only be used for the current model and is not the source of the Vertex settings. A search of ‘cura.ini’ reveals no other likely locations. I think Repetier has to be RUN as Administrator in Windows.

Velleman settings for the Vertex are stored in the Registry in a Current_User folder. I think that confirms that if Repetier must be installed as a Administrator, it must be run as one too (every time).
