Tip: Why it might be impossible to create a new EMX Project!

Some customers have reported problems when trying to use EMX the first time after they have installed it. Usually the functions

"Project> Create New" cause a crash OR "Administrator Tools > Options" show empty sheets.

In this case, please check the content of the folder <emx_install>/configuration. If you see only this files:

the most important files to run EMX are missing. They are shown here:

This are localized files that should be created by EMX when starting it the first time. Since MS Windows 8 the handling of Administrator rights for the folder "C:\Program Files" is rather restrictive, therefore EMX is not allowed to generate this important files!

 

To solve this problem, either make sure you have 100% administrator rights for this folder

OR

install EMX into a different directory.
