If you launch the script samples of ACA WebThumb ActiveX to save the web content to an image, you may receive an error message below:

  • Error: Can't save the snapshot to folder c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mydomain.com\. Please make sure the script has the WRITE permission in this folder.
  • Error: Can't save the snapshot to folder c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mydomain.com\. Please make sure you have assigned WRITE permission for LOCAL SERVICE in this folder.
