MQ

MQ Explorer 9.3 was giving a weird error message when run without run as Administrator....

So I wanted to get to the bottom of it, and decided to run the MQExplorer as an eclipse program running eclipsec

Promptly I was told that the jvm could not be created. So I copied the MQExplorer.ini to eclipse.ini and tried again.

This time I got a java stack trace telling me the cause was access denied on the following file:

<mqe installation path>\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\.manager\.fileTableLock

Granting the Users group full access to the file solved my problem and I was able to start MQExplorer V9.3 without run as Administrator.

Hi Francois, 

Thank you for getting to the bottom of it and publishing what the issue was - do you think that it would be worth for the team to take a look at this and see if they could write a blog or see if this could be included in a report just in case someone else might be running into this issue? 

Thank you
