Today, when I try to download quotes for my chartbooks, I get "Download Failed" for my ETF/CEF chartbooks. I get the message using SC Data (All Services) and IB. I'm using release 1594, and I did not have the problem yesterday.

I cleared the log and tried to download quotes for SPY.

It is not resolved for me PLUS I'm having other strange issues with Sierra Chart. Since yesterday, some of my options were changed which I can reset, but that is frustrating.

I just tried to download the pre-release to see if that would fix some problems, and it would not download. Is this related to the current access issues?

This is getting really frustrating. For decades going back to DOS 3.0 days, I've put all "data" into a C:\Data folder including Sierra Chart. Now, I keep setting the option for Sierra Chart to load data from that folder, but it keeps reverting to C:\SierraChart\Data.

From the log: Error creating the file folder: C:\Data\Sierra Chart. Windows error code 5: Access is denied. | 2017-08-06 12:35:25 *

I've tried running Sierra Chart in admin mode, and I can copy/paste files in the Sierra Chart data folder with Windows Explorer. So, the "access is denied" seems to apply only for Sierra Chart.

1. In regards to the historical data download failed error, follow the instructions here to perform a Forced Login procedure:
Sierra Chart - Software Login Instructions: Forced Login

You for sure should not have a problem after this.

2.
Since yesterday, some of my options were changed which I can reset, but that is frustrating.
Specifically what? The only options that would be reset upon an update of Sierra Chart, assuming you did that, would be the keyboard shortcuts for Advanced Custom Study buttons.

3.

No, this is unrelated and we will fix this this hour. You do not need to update.

4.
I keep setting the option for Sierra Chart to load data from that folder, but it keeps reverting to C:\SierraChart\Data.
You need to uncheck Global Settings >> General Settings >> Always use Data Folder within Main Folder

5.

From the log: Error creating the file folder: C:\Data\Sierra Chart. Windows error code 5: Access is denied. | 2017-08-06 12:35:25
In regards to this, refer to these help topic 16 subsections:
