Hi,

The install.ptf file is discovered in your home directory, which on windows corresponds to the environment variable %USERPROFILE%. One thing to check is that this is set to where you expect, which by your description should be somewhere locally on your system versus the server location. You may be able to work around whatever problem is occuring by adjusting this variable, but note that this may have other effects (and should probably be tried in a subshell first rather than globally). Do you actually have a .sopc_builder directory with an install.ptf on your local system? It would probably be worth checking both locations to see where SOPC Builder, the creator of that file, is writing to as a first step before changing anything.

If you can post what your %USERPROFILE% variable is set to and which of the two possible locations has the .sopc_builder file maybe we can figure something out from there.
