A "W1110" error message means that vRigger was unable to write to a file. It can usually be resolved by downloading and reinstalling vRigger from https://vRigger.com/download.
Although less likely, this error will also occur if you do not have permission to write to files in the folder named C:\ProgramData\Iterum\vRigger\Gear. This may require that a system administrator change the file permissions to the gear folder.
If the "W1110" message continues to be displayed after reinstalling vRigger and ensuring that all users have read/write access to the gear folder, please contact us for assistance.
