Hi,
I tried logging into Mikrotik via Winbox v3.0b3. It gives me error message ERROR: Could not create file.
I've tried running it as Administrator and it still comes out with that error message.
I've tried googling for this problem, no answer comes up. What is missing?
Thank you
Henry

Re: Winbox: could not create file
Since you try running as administrator and your OS still stops winbox from creating file then I guess you have install another OS
Re: Winbox: could not create file
don't use BETA
use RC which is much better
This one http://download2.mikrotik.com/routeros/ ... winbox.exe

I could resolve the problem executing winbox.exe as administrator.

Check your antivirus settings -> ransomware protection. Maybe it blocks access to folders when WinBox create files.
WinBox must have access to folder:
c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\roaming\mikrotik\winbox\6.41-3395350936
(WinBox: 3.11, ROS: 6.41 current)
Re: Winbox: could not create file
Had this problem today. My windows profile was once corrupt, and was located to C:\Users\TEMP. Though I solved the issue back then, this setting was still present today in several registry entries.ERROR: Could not create file.

Winbox tried to access c:\users\TEMP\appdata\roaming\mikrotik\winbox unsuccessfully. Once the registry entries were fixed, Winbox was able to save the current configuration to the proper profile folder without admin rights.

Just ran into this problem. After an Win 10 update, I got some profile errors logging in. Rebooted and everything was restored to normal except Winbox complains that it can't create a file.Had this problem today. My windows profile was once corrupt, and was located to C:\Users\TEMP.

If I run as an administrator, the program works. I'd rather not have to run as an admin. Do you remember what registry keys needed to be updated? I searched the registry and couldn't find any appdata registry related errors.
Also, is there any way to complete reset Winbox so its settings are cleared?

Hello. Winbox 3.16 create session files inside "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Mikrotik\Winbox".Just ran into this problem.

In my case, after happened user profile corruption, MS Windows removed "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop" directory.
I just created Desktop folder and setup full access permission for me and system user.

Re: Winbox: could not create file
When problem with sessions then do not detele anything.
Just open the folder %appdata%\Mikrotik\Winbox and there you can see file "sessionpath". Open that with text editor and edit the path to correct one.

Re: Winbox: could not create file
Just ran into that problem as well. This happened because I changed the my home directory on Windows. Apparently the Winbox app accesses the following registry entry to check for the location of the session folder:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\AppData
The AppData folder still had the old home directory stored. Worked without rebooting, just restart Winbox.
For the interested, I figured it out by using the Sysinternals Process Monitor from Microsoft.

I hope this helps someone.

Re: Winbox: could not create file
Thank you! This actually solved my cAP ac issue and also a previous problem in my current Windows installation due to messed up paths in the Shell Folders keys in registry (after, too, changing User folders locations). Glad I came up with this thread.

Hope the Winbox developers notice that and fix the code to seek an alternate method of saving the config file in cases like this.
