W530 color sensor issues

#1 Post by astral » Tue Mar 31, 2026 4:23 pm

I've got a W530 with a color sensor and I can't get it to work. The main utility wants me to run the SensorReplacementUtility.exe, which then throws the following error:
Error 22 while reading
C:\ProgramData\X-Rite\ECCM-2\ECCM2SensorData.bat

The file is indeed missing. I can't seem to find anything online about how to restore it. I don't know if this is a Windows 10 issue or a hardware issue. I've uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times to no avail.

You are looking for ECCM2SensorData.dat (NOT bat).

Hope you can read German, as you can find your solution here: https://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/gel%C ... st-2294203

Thank you for linking that thread! It didn't come up in my English language google searches (of course) :D

I downloaded the file, put it in the right place, and now the calibration works. I do think it makes an improvement, though a minor one.

Since you need an account to download the file from that forum, I'll upload it to my website tomorrow and link it here.

(and yeah i meant .dat not .bat lol)
