In this post elsewhere in these forums Joemikeb mentioned that 'no small number of TTP users have DiskWarrior installed in TTP's eDrive'. That may be true despite Micromat's counsel not to add anything to the eDrive, but I'm wondering how many of those users actually manage to run DW from the eDrive.

The reason I wonder is that I recall trying that myself quite some time ago only to get an error message I couldn't work around. I tried this again today and ran into the exact same issue. The error message says:

The com.Alsoft.DiskWarrior.prefs file is corrupt or write-protected. Quit DiskWarrior, throw away the preference file, then, open DiskWarrior again. A new preference file will be created with the default settings.
The preference file is located within the Preferences folder within the Library folder of your startup disk.


The problem is that there is no such file, and consequently one cannot remove it to solve the problem. Write privileges appear OK, and that's it. Or is it?
