Hi Denis,

can you tell us how you installed STS? Did you use the installer or distribution archive? Or did you install from an update site.

Cheers, Christian

Hi Christian,

I installed the IDE from the .exe installer I downloaded from the website.  I have installed it several times since and have observed that I cannot install the software on my C: drive.  It works okay on the D: drive.  

This may be due to some security restriction to the C: drive from the company I work for I don't know, though it did work at least one time from the C: drive.
