Could not enable tracing due to error code 112

When using either option to record IO or SQL traces as part of a profiling session, no data is recorded, and the status bar shows that there are errors preventing the collection of trace data. When expanding the information, one or more of these errors are displayed:

"Could not enable tracing due to error code 112"

Error code 112 is a Windows error code meaning that there is not enough free disk space to complete the operation. Event Tracing as implemented in ANTS Performance Profiler can require between 1 and 3 gigabytes of free disk space in the %TMP% folder, which by default is on the system partition. If there is not enough free disk space, the following can be run in a command prompt to redirect the ETW data to a drive with more free space:

SET RGTEMP=d:\temp
%programfiles%\red gate\ants performance profiler 6\RedGate.Profiler.UI.exe
