It seems, that the ACS on Windows 10 is opened with the wrong execution path, when associated with .acs files.

Steps to reproduce:

• Select an .acs file, click open with
• Because the ACS is not listed in this menu, select more apps and search for the ACS binary
• When double clicking the .acs file, the ACS is opened as intended
• Everything works, connecting to ARE and editing

Problem:

• Clicking "Upload model" is responded with "Error deploying model"
• In the .acs file's folder, a new text file is created, named ACS.txt
• Error: Die Datei "C:\Users\FH\<path to folder>\deployment_model.xsd" konnte nicht gefunden werden.

It looks like the ACS is trying to open the xsd file in the .acs file folder instead of the installation folder.

Hi, yes I can confirm the bug and the cause. There are already two workarounds for it.

Workaround 1

If you assign the file extension .acs with the ACS.bat program, the problem ist solved. The batch-file changes the execution directory.

Workaround 2

Create a shortcut of ACS.exe and check the execution path in "Properties". The assign the .acs file extension to the shortcut.

THX for the workarounds!
