Hey there, I would like to install the latest Anki version 24.04.1 Qt6 in our network environment. Windows 10 22H2 (Build 19045.4291) in a domain with user profiles. The user profiles are redirected to a file system e.g. UNC \xxx.xxx.xx\user\home\appdata\anki Users have full access there When calling Anki.exe I get the following error message - The folder “anki” is created on the path but with full permissions Initial setup… Preparing to run… Traceback (most recent call last): File “aqt”, line 584, in \_run File “aqt.profiles”, line 354, in get\_created\_base\_folder File “pathlib”, line 1215, in resolve File “pathlib”, line 215, in resolve PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access denied: ‘\\xx-xxx.xx\home\users\AppData\Anki’ Traceback (most recent call last): File “aqt”, line 519, in run File “aqt”, line 638, in \_run AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘addon\_logs’ If I specify anki.exe -b c:\tmp\anki when calling, there are no problems Does anyone have an idea or similar problems? Best regards T.S ---

_[I’m using code-blocking in the quotes to (hopefully) avoid losing any of the characters.]_ > [@unigoe](#): > > `e.g. UNC \xxx.xxx.xx\user\home\appdata\anki` > [@unigoe](#): > > `Access denied: ‘\\xx-xxx.xx\home\users\AppData\Anki`’ - The first thing I notice is those folder strings don’t match – user\home vs. home\users. Is that a typo? - Is the string-of-x’s actually in the path name? Or are we meant to understand that is a placeholder for your real server address? ---

I don’t think the tools Anki is built on properly support UNC paths, so a local drive binding is required. ---

Update: I would like to install the latest Anki version 24.04.1 Qt6 in our network environment. Windows 10 22H2 (Build 19045.4291) in a domain with user profiles. The user profiles are redirected to a file system e.g. UNC \server\user\home2\appdata\anki When calling Anki.exe I get the following error message - The folder “anki” is created on the path but with full permissions User have full access from \apdata no read authorizations from \server\user\home2 this could probably be the problem in a different domain environment with full read access on server path e.g. \server2\user\anki there are no Problems. Initial setup… Preparing to run… Traceback (most recent call last): File “aqt”, line 584, in \_run File “aqt.profiles”, line 354, in get\_created\_base\_folder File “pathlib”, line 1215, in resolve File “pathlib”, line 215, in resolve PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access denied: ‘\server\user\home2\appdata\anki’ Traceback (most recent call last): File “aqt”, line 519, in run File “aqt”, line 638, in \_run AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘addon\_logs’ If I specify anki.exe -b c:\tmp\anki when calling, there are no problems Does anyone have an idea or similar problems or can fix the Problems?
