vseDeploy folder not visible in DevTest 10.9.1 after upgrade

Products

• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to DevTest 10.9.1, the `vseDeploy` folder and its associated subdirectories (e.g., `vsBuilderSessions and vseRecording) are no longer visible in the expected installation path. This prevents users from manually managing or verifying .mar file deployments.

Environment

Product: Service Virtualization (DevTest)
Version: All Supported versions of DevTest

Cause

The issue is caused by a permission conflict in the lisa.user.properties file. The lisa.data.dir property is set to %userprofile%/DevTest, but the system's %userprofile% environment variable resolves to a restricted path (e.g., C:\Windows\System32/...) where the user does not have write access.

Resolution

Resetting the user configuration forces the VSE to recreate the standard folder structure.

1. Stop the DevTest Registry and Virtual Service Environment (VSE) services.
2. Locate the `lisa.user.properties` file in the `DevTest_HOME` directory.
3. Delete or rename the `lisa.user.properties` file.
4. Start the DevTest Registry and VSE services.
5. Verify that the `vseDeploy, vsBuilderSessions and vseRecording' folder are created in the DevTest installation directory.
