ACS: double-click opening .acs file -> cannot deploy model

benjaminaigner commented 3 years ago

It seems, that the ACS on Windows 10 is opened with the wrong execution path, when associated with .acs files.

Steps to reproduce:

Select an .acs file, click open with
Because the ACS is not listed in this menu, select more apps and search for the ACS binary
When double clicking the .acs file, the ACS is opened as intended
Everything works, connecting to ARE and editing

Problem:

Clicking "Upload model" is responded with "Error deploying model"
In the .acs file's folder, a new text file is created, named ACS.txt
Error:Die Datei "C:\Users\FH\<path to folder>\deployment_model.xsd" konnte nicht gefunden werden.

It looks like the ACS is trying to open the xsd file in the .acs file folder instead of the installation folder.

Hi, yes I can confirm the bug and the cause. There are already two workarounds for it.

Workaround 1

If you assign the file extension .acs with the ACS.bat program, the problem ist solved. The batch-file changes the execution directory.

Create a shortcut of ACS.exe and check the execution path in "Properties". The assign the .acs file extension to the shortcut.

THX for the workarounds!
