Cause

After the sysdata is moved to a new location, changing the pathing for Microsoft FRx Designer sysdata through the Admin - Org - Sysdata screen produces a Run-time Error 5. The pathing for the Specification Set(s) is still pointing to the old Microsoft FRx sysdata. Before the sysdata path can be changed in Microsoft FRx Designer, in certain environment, Microsoft FRx cannot resolve the change to the sysdata if the Specification Set(s) pathing is not changed first.
