While testing a new bundle I got this error message when the Windows version of the Preview restarted:

Checking index files
An unforeseen error occurred:
Exception: <type 'exceptions.IOError'>, Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:\\Program Files\\SplunkPreview\\var\\lib\\splunk\\defaultdb\\db\\db-hot\\rawdata\\10486464.gz'

The 10486464.gz file did not have an owner or security permissions assigned to it.

To get splunk to run I gave local administrators ownership of the file and assigned full control to the rawdata folder and replaced permission entries on all child objects.

Thanks, let me see if I can reproduce this. If I can, I will send an email to the preview team to get this fixed.
