If you find the AtkinsPro ROES Client failing to launch.
> First, open an Explorer window (click Start and Computer) and choose C: drive, then Users (or Documents and Settings for XP) and go into your user account folder.
> Find the .roescache folder and permanently delete it (this may take some time), then see if ROES launches.
> If it still fails, in the same user login folder look for the folder starting with a “.” and has “AtkinsPro” in the namep. In that folder will be a file of the same name as the folder ending in .properties. Delete this .properties file, which stores old/saved preferences, and then try the launch again.
