Recover Projects

Recovering a Lost Project

Symptoms: A project that had been present (within that user's account) can no longer be accessed from BuildPlus, but project files are still present on the build computer

Cause: might be caused by changing UAC privileges

Resolution:

• When BuildPlus isn't able to find project files in the expected location, alternate locations are searched, in case UAC privileges have been changed (admin or standard). If files are found, a dialog will present projects that can be selected for recovery.
• Alternatively, on the Tools menu, click Recover Projects....

This allows you to recover any projects with files found by BuildPlus in an alternate location, so they will again be listed as current BuildPlus projects. It might also be possible to "recover" projects created by a different user on the same computer.
