FME workbench only works when opened as administrator

If I try to open it normally it works until I try to open a workspace, then I get the error

File Error! Could not open file:

If I open it as administrator it works fine, but I am trying to run my scripts by batch file in a scheduled task and while the script works fine run manually from the workbench (in administrator mode), it is not working through the batch file and I believe the two problems might be connected.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I am using FME 2018 on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Thanks

Hi David - thanks for this link. I think my issue was that I was using an account to run the scheduled task that hadn't opened FME on the server before. Correcting this has meant that the scheduled task now works.

I'm still confused as to why FME won't open any workbench unless it is opened as administrator first, so if anyone has a solution to that, it would be good to get that sorted too.
