WorkaroundBenchmark Programming Toolmiele_psirt
As a further risk-minimizing measure, the write permissions of the installation folder C:\\Miele_Service\\ Miele Benchmark Programming Tool can be adjusted so that an exchange of files is only possible with administrative permissions. This is also possible without reinstalling or updating the tool. The procedure for adjusting the permissions depends on the Microsoft Windows operating system environment used and in most cases requires administrative rights.
