This may not be entirely correct. I am new to the personal edition of the Altair SLC.
These are just my observations.
You may need to open your own program and x out of the one provided. Looking for sample program error.
PREP: see files in github
FOLDERS
1 C:\Program Files\Altair\SLC\2025
altairslc.cfg see github
2 c:/wpsoto for autocall macros
autoexec.sas see github
3 c:/wps/ for programs
4 d:/wpsusr for sasuser
5 d:/wpswrk for sas work
6 d:/wpsa template eclipse workspace (has the layout)
The location for the workspace is chosen when starting Altair SLC Workbench for the first time
If you get switched into another workspace
go to file>switch workspace>wpsa (or where ever you put the workspce folder)
You might want to keep the downloaded .metadata.zip in d:/wpsa.
Eclipse seems a little flaky and you may need to restore metadats from the zip.
Be nice if someone would remove 80% of the eclipse functions, minimally the greyed out functions.
FILES
1 altairslc.cfg C:\Program Files\Altair\SLC\2025\altairslc.cfg
