SoapUI Free Edition - Can we execute the tests via command prompt and take advantage of test reports?

I am trying to run the SoapUI project.xml using windows command prompt w/ and w/o options to generate the test report but getting below access denied error. Does test runner execution works for free edition? Or is this related to admin access on your machine?

testrunner.bat  C:\Users\meiyer\Desktop\LOAD TOOLS\SOAPUI sample projects\RESTTEST\Locations.xml

testrunner.bat -FPDF -R"JUnit-Style HTML Report"  C:\Users\meiyer\Desktop\LOAD TOOLS\SOAPUI sample projects\RESTTEST\Locations.xml

Run as administrator for SoapUI.exe fixed the issue for me.

Same thing when running cmd in administrator mode

Yes, this is an access rights issue. By default SoapUI tries to write into its SoapUI program directory, which is bad style.

To change this behavior go to C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.3.0\bin\soapui-log4j.xml and look for the File param values (e.g. in the GLOBAL_GROOVY_LOG appender)

Set the value of the global-groovy.log to a path your current user has access to. E.g. your user directory.

I tried to use windows environment variables there, but did not have success at that in short term.
