Error when changing language

Question

Hi all!

I am a new user of Open LCA. The installation was successful after i installed JDK8 and the program started. Now I wanted to change the language of openLCA in German on my MacBook but i got this Error:

An unexpected error occured
failed to write openLCA.ini file
See the log-file for further information

Can anybody help me?

Thank you in advance for your help
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

this happens if you do not have write-access to the openlca.ini file, which is in the same folder as openlca.exe, e.g. if you install as an admin, and use as a normal user. You can then open the ini file as admin, edit, and save, or start openLCA as admin and change the language then. To change the ini file, find

-nl
en

and change to

-nl
de

Hope this helps!

Hi Andreas,

Thank you very much for your quick response.
I was on holiday, so i couldn`t test it.
I have now found the right file and it worked.

Best regards,
Daniel
