NX I-deas 6.5 - Access denied
(OP)
Hello guys, I am trying to install NX I-deas 6.5 in windows 8.1 (32 bit) and get it working.
Installation went fine, no problems at all. Services are running fine with no problem, but..
when I start I-deas I get this problem:

Operating system access denied on the current working directory.
Modify the access privileges and retry the operation.
My account is local administrator, what can I do to get it running?
What's the path of I-deas current working directory? I don't get it..
I will appreciate your efforts guys!

I also had admin account, but must start it like this?

1. Using Windows File Explorer, make a directory that you have full access to (e.g. read/write access). Perhaps "C:\ideas\scratch", but make it reasonably short.
2. Go to the 'Start menu' and hover your mouse over the icon that you are using to start I-DEAS;
2. Click right mouse button over this icon, Select 'More', then 'Open file location' - Windows File Explorer will now open*;
3. Select the 'NX I-deas' executable, right click and select properties;
4. Then populate the "Start in:" block to be the directory that you made in item 1; and then
5. Press OK.
Now try to start I-DEAS again. Hopefully that should do it!
*this line is true for Windows 10, I couldn't test other versions.
