Notepad & textual output

Post date: Jan 12, 2015 4:58:59 PM

Some people have had a problem where, after running a procedure, they get an error message saying something like this:

Two steps should be taken to fix this problem.

STEP 1. Select a suitable scratch folder.

In the UCINET main menu, go to Options|Scratch Folder and set it to the user's appdata folder, like this:

This should always work, but if not try the Windows Temp folder or some other folder that you know you have write-access to.

STEP 2. Tell ucinet to use notepad.exe as its text editor.

Go to Options|Helper Applications in UCINET main menu, and ensure that Notepad.exe is listed in the Editor field:

Note that (a) a full path name is not usually required for notepad.exe (because it belongs to Windows).

Also -- irrelevant to the issue at hand -- the location of netdraw in the example is idiosyncratic. The usual pathname is something like c:\program files(x86)\analytic technologies\netdraw.exe.
