Trouble getting LOTW to upload, access to Document folder denied

Post by kq4aji »

Hello all,
I need some help, probably a minor setting but I cannot figure it out.

I moved LOG4OM over to a new computer and thought everything was working but it looks like LOTW is trying to upload but not able. Check the TQSL.exe path and OK. I am running as ADMIN.

Here is the offending section. Also attached is the log file. Any help is appreciated. Thx

2024-01-18 17:29:00.9604 ERROR: [LOTWManagement][UploadLog] : [LOTW UPLOAD] ERROR: Creating temporary folder for LOTW upload: C:\Users\dropbox321\Documents

I dont know how many times I need to say this but please DO NOT add your log files to forum posts, they contain your private information that can be used by scammers I have deleted it!

Your issue is because the locationj you specified in the config of Log4OM for storing your temporary files for LOTW is a secured location, please change it to

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Log4OM2\LOTW

or

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Log4OM2\temp
