I will have a look this Friday and report back if I can reproduce & fix the issue.
Can you point me to the exercise you are doing? AFAICS this is not part of https://learn.vogella.com/courses/rich-client-platform

Are you trying this update from an exported product started outside of Eclipse or via a product started from the IDE?
Please reply in the issue, not via email.
this is my uri file:///g:/gashulub64/repository
This may be a security issue as it is a shared drive on a windows network
I executed the application as administrator and got the same exception so it is probably not a security or rights issue
executing from an exported product
|Is anybody working on this issue still not resolved
The issue that I have is that the product export fails from the ui. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=545653 So I’m currently reworking the exercise so that I add it to the official RCP training and use the Tycho build. I hope I can give you Wednesday an update.
