I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030 Title: SolidWorks Integration Issues: Workspace Directory Access Failure and WGM Version Mismatch Description: We are using Windchill Workgroup Manager (WGM) 11.0 M030 with Windchill 11.0 M030 on a Windows 10 client, integrating with SolidWorks 2016 SP5 x64. We are encountering two problems: When launching SolidWorks, WGM starts automatically in the background and fails with the error: "Failed to set the workspace local directory" . The log indicates that the folder C:\PTC\WFS\Workspace cannot be accessed。 “maybe it is locked by the PTC WFS Controller service. Despite the folder being locked by the service, WGM is unable to use it properly, causing the initialization to fail." Although we installed WGM 11.0 M030, the SolidWorks add-in shows its version as "PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 M010".
Here are the errors that I faced
