ASRemlW, error message – file is already open or cannot be accessed

Problem

ASRemlW opening more than once or error messages saying the file is already open or cannot be accessed

Solution

ASRemlW opening more than once or error messages saying the file is already open or cannot be accessed, the first thing to check is the Tools|Options menu.

For “Location of ASReml program file” it should say C:\Program Files\……\ASReml.exe.  In this example it is wrong, because it says ASRemlW.exe. Changing it to read ASReml.exe should solve the problem.
