Error 'No such file or directory ROCKRate' when trying to open a project on all environments

No such file or directory ROCKRate or Error reading Folders.ini. The current library ROCK is not in the list of libraries Pressing OK: Error Initialising Estimating. File or Folder does not exist.

If this is a new install, then it is likely that the installation process has not been completed. if you have custom libraries, then copying the relevant files should be part of the post-install tasks. Please ensure that you (or your IT) are following the instructions written by ConQuest Support all the way to the end.

If this is not a new install, then the first check is to ensure the folder/files for the library are visible:

  1. Open ConQuest

  2. Go to Options

  3. Select Libraries and check the Library required is listed as an option.

  • If not, add an entry with a 4-digit library name in the left cell followed by the folder location in the right cell.

  • If the correct library entry is listed, check the folder path is correct and in line with File Explorer or a colleague's options.

  • Check that the file names within the folder are correct (they should all be something like ROCKACHD.dat and ROCKACHD.idx). Note: for example, if you have something that resembles a phone number appended to this, then you are likely to be a victim of a cyberattack and should inform your IT immediately.

  • Even if you do not have a new install, incorrect Library settings are indicative that the install was not completed correctly, that a change has been made and not applied to your configuration or that something has been inappropriately reverted to default settings.

  • If everyone is having the same error and the above has been checked, the Library will need to be zipped and sent over to support.

  • If the library folder is present but empty, this will either need to be restored by your IT or copied from elsewhere - if changes have not been made to the copy of ROCK which was in use, you can take the default version from C:\ConQuest Q Series\Libraries, but be very certain that the default is acceptable.
