Can no longer export objects

General Questions

Hello,

I have put together a component from blocks and wanted to export it as a whole by step, but VC simply does not react and there is no error message.

What could be the reason thanks

Maybe the log file has some information.

It can be found from e.g.:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Visual Components\Visual Components Premium 4.10\Logs\log-file-VisualComponents.Engine.txt

Based on this discussion sounds like you have either last saved to some weird folder path that is no longer valid, or your “My Documents” folder in Windows is configured to be at such weird path.

Then maybe the last exported file…How can i set it up new? Thanks

You could try editing this file:
...AppData\Local\Visual Components\Visual Components Premium 4.10\AppConfig\4.10.1\app.config

Removing the whole RecentOpenSaveFolderSection XML element might work.

I didnt help sadly.
Maybe i have to install everything new?

Thank you
