Subject: Re: Compressed Library (.enlx) error Author: Soleil2111 (New User) Date: 03-10-2011 08:14 PM I am having this same problem however I am trying to save it to an external hard drive so the file name is not a long path. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I am ultimately trying to transfer my EndNote X3 library from one laptop to another laptop with X4. thanks

Subject: Re: Compressed Library (.enlx) error Author: leoking (New User) Date: 03-15-2011 06:07 PM Hi,   I am afraid the long file name is not the reason for the problem. I have the same problem (EndNote X4 + Windows 7).    I used a compreseed library to restore a new library using EndNote X4. And then, I just used EndNoted X4 to compress the newly generated library again. It just did not work ("can not create or save files").  The compresed library I used was succeffully generated by another verion of EndNote. This means the restored library should also be able to be compresed. So that , the long file name is not the reason.   I do not know what is the real reason, but I think it might has something to do with the privilege of the user account who runs the EndNote. I am using a normal user account that do not have admin privileges to do some extra operations.    Could you just check that and I think this is really a bug of the EndNote X4. I hope you solve this problem soon.

Subject: Re: Compressed Library (.enlx) error Author: dtae (New User) Date: 08-29-2011 02:16 PM Thomson's Answer to this question (which didn't resolve my issue at all and they should have posted here, but apparently are too lazy to):    Thank you for contacting Thomson Reuters Technical Support. This may happen when you try to save the compressed library within Program Files folder or even if the library files are placed inside the Program Files folder. Windows 7 will protect files in Program Files. Sometimes this issue may be related to permissions on your computer. Even though you have administrator rights Windows 7 applies stronger security to some locations. When you create your .enlx file, where do you save it? Does it make a difference if you change your save location to the Desktop? Please try to save the compressed library in the following location C:\Users\[User Name]\Documents If the library is inside the Program Files then I would also try to move the library to desktop and then make a compressed library. Let me know if you get the same error after moving the library to desktop or documents folder. Each database consists of two files, *.enl and *.Data. Please make sure you both these files to same location. If you are able to save the compressed library into the documents folder or desktop location then you may want to check the security setting for the location. Please see the following link for more information. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7security/thread/938f2b50-b063-475b-8c5e-905d136df2e3 Note: You should contact Windows 7 technical support group before following instruction from the above link. If the computer connected in a network then you should contact the network administrator. If you cannot save the compress library on any location then sometimes the Administrator Account on Windows 7 may allow you to save the library. Please try to enable the Windows 7 administrator account and continue to make a compressed library. Please see the following link to enable the administrator account. http://www.windows7news.com/2009/02/03/enable-or-disable-the-windows-7-administrator-account In addition, Please note that EndNote libraries that exceed 4 GB in size and/or 65,535 files cannot be compressed using EndNote. Please refer the following Frequently Asked Questions page for more information on this: http://endnote.com/support/faqs/Database/faq9.asp If this is not the case, as a test, please open the sample library and try to backup it. You should be able to find the sample library in this location: C :/> Program Files>EndNote>Examples>Sample Library. Please find the steps to backup the library in the link below, http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/Database/faq6.asp If you are able to compress the sample library, then the issue might be with the specific library which you are trying to compress and having issue. Please move a copy of your library to your desktop. Note that you should copy both the .enl and .data folder to the same location. You might try to recover the library. Please find the instructions the link below, http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/Database/faq3.asp Please let us know if you have any questions or if this does not resolve the issue and we will be happy to assist you. Based on the information provided above, this case will be closed and no further action is required on your part. However, if this does not resolve your issue, please reply to this email and your case will be immediately reopened for additional support.

Subject: Re: Compressed Library (.enlx) error Author: dstaley (New User) Date: 12-02-2011 11:25 PM I had the same problem.  It worked when I simply shortened the name of the compressed library.  My original name was "Article_Catalog_2011-12-02.enlx".  I changed it to "ENL_2011-12-02.enlx" and it worked fine.   Note that I did not change the path nor the length of the name of any attachments.  I was also logged in on a non-admin account.     Hope that helps others.

Subject: Re: Compressed Library (.enlx) error Author: idealzh (New User) Date: 12-03-2011 04:11 AM My endnoteX5 has the same problem in Win7 32-bit system. Either changing long name to shorter one or altering installation path to C:\user\user's name\documents, even running as    Administartor , I still failed. A more intricated method worked perfectly. Download Microsoft "Windows Virtual PC", then install it. You'll have a virtual environment to run endnoteX5.  In Windows Virtual PC program, problem gets eventually resolved. Good luck~
