If I press [Optimal set of include directories] then [Safe gen] the I get error report.
Why?

I do not understand the "user message" what does it say?

That indicates that the file is write protected. You can either make the file(s) writable or use the "Force" button.

It can also mean that user (= you) does not have sufficient permissions to change the file. In that case "Force" will only help if you run the IDE in administrator mode.

Apparently, on of the PFC files did not have "optimal includes" (though we have as policy that all PFC files should already have "optimal includes"). So the tool is attempting to change a file that is located in C:\Program Files... but changing files in that directory requires that you "Run as Administrator", hence the error.

Well Thomas,
We can close the thread with the following conclusions.
1) The procedure invoked by the dialog makes the optimal set of include statements for my own modules.
2) It tries to "optimize" the "pfc" folder

fortunately after the optimization of the user owned folders.
3) When the error tombstone appears the user's include statements have been already optimized.
4) The user can neglect the error messages.
