I am getting a "runtime error 53 file not found" on a Kip 7095,running PowerPrint 5xx. Will re-installing PowerPrint fix this problem?
Thank You

There are several different causes for a run time error 53, not all of them will be fixed by a re-install. Here's all the information I have.

Runtime Error 53 - File not found
• If you get this error in Unattend, after submitting files from a workstation on the
network, try this: Close Request program at the workstation. Open the winreq.ini.
Change LOCALREQUEST to FALSE or 0 (zero) and save. Open the Request
program and try again.
• One of the configuration files (.ini) is looking for a file that it can’t find. Were you
changing filenames? Did you delete a pen table? Did you move or alter some folder
names? Open the .ini of the program that is giving you the error. Note the lines that
refer to your pens. Do those paths exist? Does that pen table exist? Are you
logging on to the workstation PC as a new user, and your drive letter mapping has
now changed?
• Did you request a drawing with a stamp? Check the properties of the stamp. Are
you pointing to an image file that does not exist, i.e. stamp.tif? If in doubt, check
IMAGE, remove the complete path, then uncheck the image. Resave your stamp
and try again.
• If you try to launch a KIP Program, and the corresponding .ini file is not in the same
folder as the executable, you will get RTE53.
• If this error occurs when checking the Force Size or Stamp checkbox in Request, you
may have a corrupted file, or an inappropriately named file. Make sure there is a
default.set file in c:\program files\windows request\settings.
• Verify that a Stamp scheme, Fold scheme, or Force Size scheme is not named with a
‘space’ at the beginning of the name, such as (space)FoldName.fld

Hope it helps

The error appears wenever unattend is started. Does the computer where the unattend is on have to log in with "admin" rights/
thanks

The way Unattend works is that it is "reading" down the winuntd.ini file (from top to bottom) and loading values, looking for files, etc.

If a particular file is not found, then an Error 53 is thrown.

I would start at the top of the winuntd.ini file and verify that each of the .exe, .log, .pen, etc. files are in place and exist. If they don't, then you will need to either get a duplicate or recreate them somehow.

Since this is such an old system, you might be in for a challenge.

Hello and thanks for the info. Do you think that removing and re-installing power print would fix the problem?
Thanks

I would back up the .ini files for each program prior to doing this. Just in case there is something special you have setup on the system...or just as good practice, do it anyway.

But, yes, this will fix the problem. You will need to make sure you uninstall it all first. Then do the reinstall and you should be golden.

Thanks for the confirmation. Will try this Monday.
