Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I get "Unauthorized Access Exception in CacheWatcher" message?

Issue:
The following exception is encountered by a geostream.net client:

Exception is "System.UnauthorizedAccessException"

Message is "Access to the path 'Telogis.GeoStream.CacheWatcher' is denied."

Solution:
Check that the user running the application has permission to set system-wide mutexes. If the application is a service/web app - it can not run as Local Service, as this account does not have these permissions. Run as Local System instead.
