PreSearch Tool: Could not create results directory

Issue

When running a task in the PreSearch Tool (e.g. Snapshot), an error message pops up with the message ‘Could not create necessary results directory: [path]’.

Cause

The [path] listed in the error message no longer exists or is not accessible. This path is from the most recent project that was open in Discovery Attender when the PreSearch tool was launched and is no longer available to hold the details of the scan.

Resolution

Create a new project or open an existing project. From the Main Console, choose 'Tools | PreSearch to run the PreSearch tool.
