Yep, getting same error when trying to update database or firmware on both Sentinel for HP2 and 436.
Looks like you'll need set the permissions of the database (entire directory tree) to give yourself read and write access (choose full control)
There are no doubt youtube vids on how to accomplish this. You may first have to take ownership of the directory and sub-directories.
It's not the Uniden software it's Windows

Thanks, I gave up went back to Windows 7 to much of a pain!!
Just downloaded Sentinel on my Win 10 installation and when tried to run it I got same error message. I then closed it out and did the following:
Right click on the icon on the desktop, click properties, click compatibility tab on to, check box to Run As Administrator then clicked Apply and OK.
Then ran the program again, it asked if I wanted it to run just clicked Yes and the program then reconstructed the database without issue and loaded fine.
Have not tried to talk to scanner or anything as I only have Win 10 on one work computer but it ran without a hitch after running it as admin.

Thanks, I'll try that when I decide to go back to 10. I need to know if the USB, upload, download works before I do. PS. ARC536PRO USB didn't work either.
Theo,
Right now I cannot confirm that as I only have it at work but I believe there are some other threads to where people have got it to work and others, well not so much... I guess until Uniden can get the software updates so you don't have to do this work-around then everything 'should' fall into place.
For now I am still sticking with 7 on my home computers until the early 'bugs' are worked out on 10 then I may upgrade but I am still in limbo if I will.

If it works for some users, but not others, it is unlikely a software issue. Have seen similar posts all over this board, and it almost always is some underlying issue in the users machine, regardless of Software.

8.1
Anybody downloaded Sentinel on Windows 8.1 and have any issues?
Found this fix for Net frame errors in this thread.....

Looks like that could be a totally separate issue then the one posted on here, but I just want to be prepared with fixes if I run into trouble.
Any PC savvy user's input would be greatly appreciated.
