About
Sometimes we change things or you change something and ACE isn't quite right afterwards. To get back to a fresh, cleanly installed state there's a few things you have to do. Soon we'll introduce a feature to do this automatically. For now, to fix up plug-ins not loading, failed updates or ACE failing to load, try the steps below to scrub things clean and get back to a blank slate.
WARNING: You will lose your session files, preferences, exported data and plug-ins etc.
Steps
Step 1. Run the ACE uninstaller
Step 2. Launch Windows File Explorer with ADMIN privileges (Windows 7)
- Hit Ctrl Alt Delete and click “Start Task Manager”
- In the bottom of “Task Manager” click “Show processes from all users”
- If required enter details for the admin account
- Click File→New Task(Run…)
- Type explorer.exe and select “Create this task with administrative privileges”
Step 3. Open %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Analog Devices\ACE and delete any files contained within
Step 4. Open %LocalAppData%\Analog Devices\ACE and delete files within
Step 5. Open %ProgramData%\Analog Devices\ACE and delete files within
