Receiving the following error while in notes: ‘Flushing content description cache,’ has encountered a problem. Could not read metadata for ‘c:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Data\workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources.root.indexes\properties.index’. Unexpected version: 0.
Notes still works but the above error keeps popping up. Any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks you
Subject: I have the same error
I also get the very annoying “Flushing content description cache” error on my 8.5 client on Vista. It does not appear to be an access problem, as I (also as normal user) has been granted Full access from C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\data and all way down from there.
I hope someone can explain the error.

Hi Debbie,
Just in case you’re having other problems with this Notes install… From what I’ve seen, installing Notes to c:\Program Files\ on Vista can cause some problems.
This technote doesn’t mention your error message in particular, but its advice seems to jibe with my experiences:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269041
Here’s a little excerpt:
"Windows Vista locks down the C:\Program Files directory. If the installation of Lotus Notes’ Program and Data directories are installed in the Program Directory, which is the default directory, then it will be read-only for standard users (NOTE: All users run as Standard Users in Windows Vista, this includes the Administrators group). This limitation will prevent the client from running properly.
By installing Multi-user install, or a Single User Install (with the Program and Data directory in a drive off of C:, and not off of C:\Program Files), then the user will be have full read/write access to the directories and their contents."
Good luck and have a nice weekend,
