FME C:\\Users\\ ...[[truncated]]... \\Scaler_Test.fmw

Do the preferences below compensate for that? If not, what privileges should be changed?

The log fragment indicates the GDB is read from the S: drive.

 

Is that drive available when no user is logged on, or is that drive created as part of the user logon script (as it usually is)?

Not sure. I changed the preference above to "Run only when user is logged on" and received the same result. @erik_jan
